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.

The Second Family Will Be Humbled

When there is adultery in families, the second family is exalted above the first family. As an example, the child of the first family will be given a seat with the visitors at the funeral held for their father. These children were eliminated from their father’s life as small children. The second family will be given the front row seats. Also, the children of the father’s second wife will be the only heirs in many cases. The child or children of the first family will not be mentioned or included in the will. In the end, God will exalt these abandoned, aborted, and abused children of the first family by giving them a place in Heaven.

Jesus said, “For whosoever exalteth himself shall be humbled; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.”(Luke 14:11)

Gather your family!

A man’s family is determined by where he lives. If a man is living with his first wife, his family is whole unless he cheats on his wife. If he lives with his second wife, his family is broken and scattered.  Adultery creates broken families, broken homes, broken children, and broken spouses.

Jesus said, “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not. Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.”(Luke 13:34-35)

Moral or immoral?

Is  it moral or immoral to abandon your wife or your husband? What about abandoning the wife and children of the first family for another woman? If a married man is alone while his wife is at the hospital preparing for the delivery of their child, is he fair game for another woman to make a move on him? Is it moral for a man to marry a divorced woman and become her heir rather than her child from her first marriage? Is it moral or immoral for the second families to replace the first family? Is it moral to abort and reject a child? These are only a few of the possible questions that could be asked regarding morality and family. It is time for us to put morality back into our families and to start respecting the first family and the members of the first family!

Jesus said, “Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able…But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye doers of iniquity.”(Luke 13:24,27)

The Straight Gate Opens to Heaven

Repentance, the act of accepting personal responsibility for wrongs that we have committed, is very important for those that have the primary goal of making it to Heaven. The other duty is to keep our first family first and not last. When a man leaves his first family and moves in with and lies with another woman, his gate gets wider. Furthermore, like many step-parents that deny knowing the abandoned child of the first family, so too will God deny knowing him or her.

Jesus said, “Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able…and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know not whence ye are…There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out. “(Luke 13:24-28)

The Christians and the Muslims

Many Muslims think of Christians as infidels, but both are sinners and require repentance.

Jesus said, “Suppose ye that these Galileans were sinners above all the Galileans, because they suffered such things? I tell ye, Nay; but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. Or upon those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Saloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem? I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.” (Luke 13:2-5)
