Keep your word…honor your commitment

Jesus said, “But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay” (Matthew 5:37). This means to let your “Yes” be a “Yes” and your “No” mean “No” and not “Maybe”. Our word is more important than a piece of paper. We should bind out agreements with a handshake and a personal commitment to complete the job. But from my experience, initial commitments may have to be adjusted in order to get the job completed because of unexpected events. This is when another meeting is required. It is about two people working together to complete a task. Our first marriage is one of those lifelong commitments. But there is one commitment that must never be made and must never be kept. Don’t fall for it when a potential second spouse wants you to use words like “Putting aside all others” in your wedding vows. A request such as this should stand as a warning not to proceed! Simple families (the first man and the first woman) are much easier and less stressful for us and our children than forcing the unnatural with “laws” and trying to do the impossible by making a second spouse into a first spouse.

 

Work things out Jesus’ way

Do not use lawyers to solve your problems. We don’t need a middle man to work out our problems if we do things according to Jesus’ plan.

Jesus said in Matthew 5:24-26, “Leave there thy gift before the altar; and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to a judge; and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou shalt be cast into prison. Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.

A man’s last name

Jesus said in Matthew 10:6, “But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” and Matthew 15:24, “I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”

Around the world we have many kingdoms. Last names are used to define families – one from another. In cultures where divorce and remarriage is encouraged, the family is determined by the woman with whom the man resides. Families are broken apart and the finale heirs are determined by the finale man and the finale woman. Hence, the result is many broken families rather than a united family. A man’s first wife is his vine and Jesus said in Mark 10:7, “For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; and they twain shall be one flesh: so that then they are no more twain, but one flesh.” Pieces of paper and laws do not have the power to break up a family – it seems that men think that they are God as Jesus described them. If it is God’s family, we will keep our families united and the man lives with his first wife and the woman with her first husband. Family is forever on Earth and Heaven except for the ones that don’t get keep the commandments.

The Wild West

We are returning to the Wild West days of American history. In those days, sons did not fathers or grandfathers because they had been killed in the Civil War. (Many of our mothers are living with another man.) Today, our fathers and grandfathers are alive, but they are with another woman and her children. We have so many children that live without their fathers and their father’s family so that the other woman can be his “wife-in-law”. Is this woman really worth all of the pain and suffering that we have to endure for the abandoned and broken children of the first family? Who is more important – the other woman or the wife and children of the first family? If your answer is not the first family then our men are just men and not sons of God. #Save the first family!

The children of the kingdom

Do the children of the man and his “wife-in-law” go to heaven?

I do not think that the children of the man and his “wife-in-law”, his second wife, go to heaven because Jesus said, “That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven. But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” (Matthew 8:11-12). I do not believe that God approves of the children of the second family replacing the children of the first family. Sarah and Abraham both left their father and never returned. #Save the first family!
