In Judges we see the people go back and forth and back and forth between God and evil. I wonder if the problem was that one generation would witness the power of God and turn to Him, but fail to instill the faith and obedience into their children who would then turn away. Surely the people all knew of God and heard the stories of His miracles, but knowledge wasn't enough.
This can still happen and it makes me think about the importance of imparting a real love for God into children and anyone else who we may have the opportunity to teach. We also need to remember this for ourselves - you can attend services and even know your Bible, but if you don't love God with all your heart, soul, and might you aren't serving Him as you should.
