Removing Landmarks and Private Property 02/03/2011
 Listen to first 15 minutes of this lecture and find out why removing "landmarks" destroys a Godly society. These landmarks can be either spiritual or physical property lines. Private property and inheritance is extremely important to God's way of building a family. This is an exciting talk that most churches will never hear about. Listen and enjoy!

 Question 123: Which is the fifth commandment?
Answer: The fifth commandment is, Honor thy father and thy mother; that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God gives thee. Question 124: Who are meant by father and mother in the fifth commandment? Answer: By father and mother, in the fifth commandment, are meant, not only natural parents, but all superiors in age and gifts; and especially such as, by God's ordinance, are over us in place of authority, whether in family, church, or commonwealth.  We as Christians with children or not must stand unmovable about what the Bible says about family. Satan knows the family is the building block of a Godly society and that's why there is so many attacks on the nuclear family. The Bible is clear when it says, "Children, obey your parents in the LORD, for this right. (Eph. 6:1)." This also implies that the parents have complete authority over their children. The United Nations is one big ball of tyranny. We must fiercely oppose anyone who would promote these wicked laws over our family and nation (Proverbs 28:4). Study and learn what the Bible says about the government of family, so when you are confronted with the decision to either follow the definitions of the state or God, there will be no question who's side you are on. "We must obey God, rather than men (Acts 5:29)."
Remember the Blessings of God this New Year 12/30/2010
 I. Outline and Chronicle the Many Providences of God
Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. (Hab. 33:2) First, using simple bullet points, outline the key events for every week of every month of the year. Take the time to do the research which will help jog your memory and allow you to make an accurate record. I find that reviewing bills, blogs, journals, newspaper headlines, letters, and even organizing my photographs chronologically are enormously helpful tools. Those individuals who were faithful to journal or keep a diary will have little problem reconstructing key events. Give yourself a good week to reconstruct your own outline of the year. Also, by making this a family project, you will not only build your list with greater speed and precision, but (in the hands of a loving patriarch) the very act of chronicling the providences of God in your life is a blessed tool for family discipleship. Every family will have a different set of priorities directing what they should record. In addition to recording the key events and providences of the year chronologically, I try to take the time with my family to record some of the following information on separate bullet lists:
Choose Life 12/16/2010
 We are not to take life unlawfully (Exodus 20). Children are a reward from the Lord (Psalms 127:3). God formed us in our mother’s womb saying we were fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139). God hates hands that shed innocent blood (Proverbs 6:17). God does not command the evil of abortion (Jeremiah 19:5). Israel stopped killing their children when God brought revival (2 Kings 23:10). This shows when God’s law is upheld then abortion and other evils cease. The Blessings of Family 12/09/2010
 God puts a great emphasis on marriage in the Bible. The family is the building block of society. If you destroy the Biblical family then you destroy the society and eventually bring in a tyrannical civil government that punishes what God calls good and rewards what God calls evil. We must preserve the government of family at all costs. The husband must play his role well as a leader and provider for his family (Proverbs 31:23, 1 Timothy 5:8). The wife must play her God given role well as she “looks well the ways of her household (Proverbs 31:27, Galatians 5:22-25).” The children must obey their parents according to the laws of God (Eph. 6:1). God commands his people to be fruitful and multiply for the purpose of filling the earth, subduing it, and taking dominion over it (Genesis 1:28, 2:24,25, 9:1, Matthew 28:18-20). Biblical marriage must be honored if Christians are to bring forth Godly children (Malachi 2:14-16) that will be mighty in the land for Jesus Christ (Psalm 78:5,6). Jesus repeats what He says in Genesis 2 that a man will leave his parents and cleave to his wife and they shall be one flesh (Matthew 19:5,6, Mark 10:6-8). Biblical marriage makes people more responsible and less selfish. He that finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor of the LORD (Proverbs 18:22). Some Apostles were married (1 Corinthians 9:5) and the Apostle Paul says to avoid fornication, every man should have his own wife and every women have her own husband (1 Corinthians 7:2). This is important because no fornicator will inherit the Kingdom of God (1 Corinthians 6:9,10). Paul says bishops and elders are a good thing to desire. One qualification is that they must be the husband of one wife and rule his household well (1 Timothy 3:2,4,12). Children are a blessing from the LORD (Psalm 127:3) and a husband and wife are to disciple them when they get up, throughout the day and when they go to bed (Deuteronomy 6:7). God gives the government of family, specifically the father, to use the rod of correction in disciplining his children (Proverbs 13:24, 22:15). The father is not to provoke his children to anger but to train them up in the nurture and admonition of the LORD (Eph. 6:4, Col. 3:18-21). | CategoriesAll Blog RollPerilous Times-Dale's Blog Theonomy Resources      ArchivesMay 2011   |
