CONTENT

But Judges 2.10, all that generation that gathered to their fathers,
there arose another generation who didn't know the Lord. They didn't
know His words. They hadn't experienced His goodness themselves.

They didn't feel deeply moved by how great He is. They didn't feel
thankful for worshiping Him for the amazing things He had done. There's
a generation that forgot God.

But they didn't know they were forgetting God. By the fact they didn't
annihilate the Canaanites and they didn't fully drive them out, right
there you knew they forgot God. Where on earth do you get the idea that
you're supposed to wipe out all of them? Don't you remember what others
have done who didn't fully annihilate? That's what the Lord told them to
kill? Don't you remember what happened to them? It's easier once the
first group, well, they didn't drive them fully out, so you know what, I
guess we don't really have to drive them fully out.

It just trickles down. It corrupts the nation as a whole.
