To Heaven, with us(please)

From children’s earliest days, they should be taught about the seams that bind our culture together. We pray, "on earth as it is in heaven". We should point out what are, as in heaven and what are not.
We concentrate on some of the more gross aspects of our sinfulness and neglect some of the sublime areas, like insurance. We should have courses in family management and it should not be assumed that it would be passed down or taken advantage of people from one system to another.
a suggestion-Perhaps an entrepreneurial class or seminar day where the children play monopoly and incorporate some of the internet expressions of entrepreneurialship. We must win our children to the importance of prevention of huge economic depression as we have seen when new technology or economic bases grow out of control and the system of checks and balances is unable to grow fast enough to incorporate the new growth. Entire systems go outdated and we cannot sustain the collapse as with slavery and cotton and industrial revolution and now the tech wreck.
We have to build into the system the multidimensional speed bump preventions that will help us to stem the tides and build in protections for the older generations to be provided for without Social Security.
Social Security was set in place in a day where the majority of the families had single incomes and were reproducing themselves in greater numbers than today.

It is the boll weevil to the cotton crop of the Social Security, we already know. Our economy cannot sustain, if the entire next generation opts out of the capitalistic endeavor, because we have done nothing to win them on board. Years ago, it was enough that prejudice and ethnic pride kept an us and them status between people groups, keeping the chain rolling. We have lost that, glad to say. But that means we have also lost a great motivator for the younger generation to stay on board. If we are not better people than anybody else, why should we try to buy into a system of unity with one another?


On earth as it is in heaven. It is not good to keep poor people ignorant of the gospel, until they are rich enough to afford it. It is not good to say, if they are too holy, they won’t care about earthly things much. This would be a pagan mentality. Not rich enough to be honest yet, the poor? This is not a good or upbuilding system and every system that has been built on it, has collapsed, as ours would.
Our pillars are built on a growing consciousness that God created us and sustains us and the triune system of checks and balances is in the similitude of our great God. If we neglect the salvation of the system that is made in His image we are tempting the tasting of the graciousness of the Lord and going back on it. It is dangerous to be blessed with as much light as we have been as a nation and as a world and to use it for anything other than to glorify God with it. We already are alive to His image, in the things and patterns of state around us and still we are refusing to “wash the dishes” clean up the messes. The things that our parents couldn’t see of the impropriety, we are responsible to cover and clear. Under Moab and the washpot of the Lord, is the blessing of grace in Jesus.
The curse of Ham, would be to make fun of the mistakes of our parents. Signing out of the commitment to the system that has made the systems what it is.
We must repent. We must start at home and look closely at the things that bind our system in unity. How sweet it is for brethren to dwell together in unity. Where our unity is built on pride, it is repugnant to God. Ie, James Brownism “I’m Black and I’m Proud and I’m sayin’ it loud”. (This is my personal pride tendency...)

Where our unity is built on the similitude of God, it is winsome to God. Ie. Evangelical obedience to the commandments of God or hymnsinging or the triune political process, or the praise and worship of God in a humble obedience to Him.
Blessed be the tie that binds…
If it is not in Christian love, God has intention of having it eaten as with worms, because,”Herod did not give the glory to God”. If the world can see us and glorify the God who made us, if we don't give the glory to God, we are far worse than Herod and that would mean that we are subject to the same judgement as Herod. Help us, O Lord.
