I spent yesterday at the park having a family reunion for my wife's mother's side of the family.
I normally cringe when I hear the word reunion because me and most of my family on my side don't get along to well. One because of my beliefs and two because I won't give into theirs. I love my in- laws because they have took me in regardless of my past and do not judge me for what I have done in my past , but keep me in line with what I am doing now. Over the years I have learned a pattern that makes life work and I wanted to share it with you. God always comes first! 20:3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 20:4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness [of any thing] that [is] in heaven above, or that [is] in the earth beneath, or that [is] in the water under the earth: 20:5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God [am] a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth [generation] of them that hate me; Exodus 20:3-5 KJV 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Matthew 6:33 KJV Always put God first and everything lines up line upon line and precept upon precept. Remember,the Kingdom of God is not Heaven above, but the Kingdom here on earth. The ways to find the Kingdom is in the Bible and with Christian brothers and sisters. Seek a church that teaches the Bible and nothing else! Family is the second building block for success, the family unit has been in effect since the beginning with the creation of One Man and One Woman to be fruitful and multiply. To many times as the children get older they forget about their parents. If they have to be put in a home that is not the point, don't forget about them. The bible plainly states in the following verse: 5:8 But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel. 1 Timothy 5:8 KJV To provide for your own is the first thing after Keeping God first that is commanded of us. Don't rely on others to take care of your family ,Do it yourself. Country is third, be devoted to the country you were born in, don't expect perfection, because it's inhabitants are not perfect. Jesus stated plainly in the following verses: 12:17 And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they marvelled at him. Mark 12:17 KJV Give to leaders and the government they lead the due respect, if you don't vote don't complain! God puts leaders in positions for his work and his divine plan not ours. If you do these things your foundation in which you build on will stand through the test of time forget one and it will crumble. Pray in this election that America remembers these building blocks for a solid rock which is Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God who died on the cross and rose again so we may be spared the tribulations that are here and the ones to come.

"Country is third, be devoted to the country you were born in, don't expect perfection, because it's inhabitants are not perfect.
Give to leaders and the government they lead the due respect, if you don't vote don't complain!
God puts leaders in positions for his work and his divine plan not ours. "
But you believe that only applies to OUR country, though, right?
Whatever goes on in the world is in God's divine plan.
But you only know that if you accept the bible as the unadulterated word of God.
Indeed it is "the unadulterated word of God"
Has anybody ever heard of the teachings of Herbert Armstrong on Britian and America in prophecy?
It was shot down by a lot of scholars for being a heresy, but the books I have read make a lot of sense.
If you like I will post some of his stuff on here.
In a nutshell, the tribes of Ephriam and Mannasseh migrated to what was ancient Britan , Scotland, Wales and Ireland.
Eventually coming to America to settle in the colonies.
I will post more later.
Michael,
Post what you can on this. I read two books on it myself a couple of years ago but can not remember who wrote them. The books are still in storage here. I will try to find them. They both were very interesting.
I have. It is very interesting stuff, but I personally find it unrealistic, and in most situations portrayed un-objectively in an apparent attempt to incorporate a degree of exclusivistic pride and justification among its adherents, but who knows?
Pastor Mike
I think all of us would emjoy Armstrong's writing, and mabe some of Vanimpe's disclosers on end times events.
We know that the tribes of Benjamin and Judah are in Israel, but how about the other 10.
Being that Joseph's sons were adopted by Jacob there would be 13.
Israel is still the timepiece that I watch for signs though not of Israel is the chosen Israel.
After the captivity, where did all the Jews go?
Why did Great Britain become the greatest nation on earth by power and riches?
Then it left God and it faltered, then America founded on the same God became the greatest nation in the history of the world.
And guess what happened? she got away from God and she is falling fast.
When you accept the fact that pre Abraham was the race of men, not till God Abraham call out Abraham did the Jewish people start.
They all scattered abroad later on.
We are called Caucasian because ore fore fathers crossed the Caucasian mountains, where did they cross from?, more to follow.

I was raised to respect all of our leaders until they proved themselves unworthy by lying about their positions on certain issues. Time always tells if they are giving the people lip service or if they are dedicated to their constituents.
Today our officals and big business have led us backwards into the late nineteen twenties by their actions in our monetary matters.
God didn't put them into that position, we did.What we allow God has to allow it's our choice. Deut. 30:19-20
Our Senate was set up to protect states rights. Congress was set up for the the people's rights. That is why only two per state are elected and population determines how many congressional people we elect, because we aren't a democracy, but a Constitutional Republic.
We forget one thing -- the polititians still have freedom of choice,and money under the table is a big incentive to tempt a person of power to vote against the people's wishes and for big business wants.
The key thing for people to remember before they vote is to listen to the polititians. Sooner or later he or she will tell you where they stand by mouth or their vote on the issues.
I would rather vote for America than vote for a party.
I believe this is the most dangerious election in America's history. I don't care who you vote for but by all means (VOTE).
