Preparing Ourselves by Preparing Others

Communities are made up of individuals, but individuals are procreated within the family. For communities to survive and prosper they must strengthen the family. Modern societies, like some more ancient times, often weaken and undermine the family while claiming a purpose of aiding it.

The ancient proverb, "Give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, you feed him for life", only bears truth if the man actually goes out and fishes. There is no need to fish if someone is giving free fish and bread to him every day.

As societies banded together for common protection they had two basic choices. Form a society where the leaders could exercise authority, one over the other, or form a society where the leaders are titular and all fundamental and natural power or right of choice, e.g. liberty, remained with the people.

For any society to become and remain free the people must practice service in a selfless process of doing for others with nothing but a hope of reciprocating return from participants in society. This is the antitheses of modern Commerce and the corporate state.

The truly free society by its nature requires that every man and every family be sincerely engaged in the enterprise of a community and nation. It is not about either a few or the many exercise authority one over the other but the people's consistent actions must be rooted in the perfect law of liberty. Liberty is established in a society where the people willingly and daily contribute with wisdom and truth to their community, as it has been said they cast their bread upon the waters in hope that it comes back to them in their time of need. They choose to do this rather than forcing their neighbor's to contribute in a socialist or totalitarian state.

The Golden Rule is to do unto others as we would have them do unto us. If we want justice and mercy we must be a source of justice and mercy for those around us. If we want liberty we must grant and even guarantee the right to choose to our neighbor. If we want knowledge and understanding we must offer our own knowledge and understanding as a gift to others. If we do not seek and learn to become a society of givers, we will become a society of takers.

To learn the lessons of freedom we must practice the ways of righteous liberty under God by attending to the Weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith which include caring for the needs of our neighbors and the widows and orphans of our society through Pure Religion in matters of health, education, and welfare. We are NOT to provide for the needy of society through the Covetous Practices and the men who call themselves benefactors but who exercise authority one over the other like the socialists do.

The Way of Christ was like neither the way of the world of Rome nor the governments of the gentiles who depend on those fathers of the earth through force, fear and fealty who deliver the people back in bondage again like they were in Egypt. Christ's ministers and true Christians do not depend upon systems of social welfare that force the contributions of the people like the corban of the Pharisees which made the word of God to none effect. Many people have been deceived to go the way of Balaam and the Nicolaitan and out of The Way of Christ and have become workers of iniquity.

The Christian conflict with Rome in the first century Church appointed by Christ was because they would not apply to the fathers of the earth for their free bread but instead relied upon a voluntary network providing a daily ministration to the needy of society through Faith, Hope, and Charity by way of freewill offerings of the people, for the people, and by the people through the perfect law of liberty in Free Assemblies according to the ancient pattern of Tuns or Tens as He commanded.

The modern Christians are in need of repentance.

"Follow me!" —Jesus the Christ.

One of the most important things to do is to become involved in a network of Charitable Practices. Everyone should want to join a Living Network of Love and Charity.

If you think you have a calling to be a Minister of God or you might want to dedicate your life to Christ as an Ordained Minister of His Holy Church, contact us to start the process of discipleship and become the benefactors who exercise only love, NOT authority.^[1]

Teach and Learn

"Teaching my own Children has taught me more about life and learning than all the teachers I had while I was growing up.

The one room school house on the prairies of South Dakota where my own father learned his first lessons was based on the precepts of community and family. They were not single age incubators but cascading communities where the older taught the younger knowledge and the younger taught the older patience and responsibility."

--Brother Gregory

Preparing University is based on the precept that giving knowledge will bring more knowledge and understanding and the virtue to use both wisely.
