I am the author of The Step-Father’s Step-Son. The book is available through Family Matters Publishing at www.stepfathersstepson.com and Amazon.com. The book covers subjects such as: adultery, family, relationships, and parenting. The book is written primarily for the first family and the children of the parents of the first family.

Who Is More Important?

Okay, let’s pretend that you have divorced your first wife and children and have married for a second time. In this scenario, which is more important – the children of your first family or the other woman. If she is more important, then you have married into her family. But if your children from your first family are more important, then you are living with the wrong woman and with the wrong family. Adultery is very confusing not only to adults, but most especially to our children. Do not put your children through this craziness. Keep your first family first always!

The First Family is under Attack!

We have two opposing beliefs in this world – the ones that believe in Jesus and follow his teachings and the ones that don’t. There will come a time, when some unbelievers will try to take Jerusalem by force. This is when we can all know that the end is near. In order to prepare, the believers in Jesus must let their adventure begin by aligning their family with the family law that Jesus spoke of during his walk on earth. There is strength in united families, but in order for a family to be reunited, the first family must be first. Otherwise, parents will betray their own firstborn children and cause them to be put to death. Also, many of these abandoned firstborn children of the first family will end up in prison. The firstborn children of the first family will also be betrayed by their half-brothers and half-sisters. They will be betrayed by grandparents and other relatives. Children of the first family, Know always, that God loves you very much! Jesus was the firstborn son of Mary! You are not and will not be forgotten!
Jesus said, “But before all these (earthquakes, wars, famines, etc.), they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for mine name’s sake. And it shall turn to you for a testimony. Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer: For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gain say nor resist. And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolk, and friends, and some of you shall they cause to be put to death. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake. But there shall not be an hair of your head perish. In your patience possess ye your souls. And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.”(Luke 21:12-20)

Men Are Not Jesus

If Jesus is the only one that will be “coming on a cloud with power and glory”(Luke 21:27), then why is it that we are following other men and their teachings?
Jesus said’ “Take heed that ye not be deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye therefore not after them. But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the day is not by and by.” (Luke 21:25-26)

There Are Different Levels of Punishment in Heaven

If God punishes, why must we also punish others? Around the world, people are imprisoned as punishment. Many people still believe in the old law…an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. But has anyone taken the time to look for the root cause of why our children are committing crimes? Could our problems lie with grandparents and parents that have committed adultery? Adultery is a generational curse and in the end, someone in the family and especially our children and their victim end up paying the price for what their parents and grandparents did. Adultery is one of the most damaging and confusing things that grown-ups can do to their families. Love your children and grandchildren. Do not commit adultery! Demonstrate to them that they are important and that family is important.
Jesus said, “Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts; Which devour widows’ houses, and for a show make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.”(Luke 20:46-47)

Pieces of Paper

Paper and lawyers are very important to members of the second family. Pieces of paper, drawn up by lawyers, make the child’s parent the property of the second spouse and their children. These pieces of paper are the divorce decree and the remarriage certificate. Next comes the will that is drafted by lawyers which gives all of the child’s parents’ property to the second spouse and their children. All of these pieces of paper are very important to the children of this world.

Children of the first family, remember always what Jesus said! Do not follow in the ways of your divorced and remarried parents and their children of this world! He said, “The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage: But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain the world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: Neither can they die anymore: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection. Now that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. For he is not the God of the dead but of the living: for all live unto him. (Luke 34-38)
