Why we gather

Someone on the network just got a visit from CPS.

You never know when such visits can turn into nightmares with the state abducting your children.

I have seen it for decades.

What the parents try to do when it happens is often to little and to late.

Eric Holder who said that Homeschooling is Not a Fundamental Right is resigning but no one should be fooled when it comes to the spirit that will violently oppose individual freedom to raise your children or even gather and live like early Christians.

The World has taken the same course as Rome and Herod did in creating a Socialist state.

John the Baptist was not just dunking people in water and calling it Baptism. He preached that people needed to be caring for one another in faith, hope and charity.

This is what the early Christians learned to do. When persecution came they were able to survive and thrive.

As a shepherd on the high desert I know lone sheep do not last long. They are easy prey for the predators of the desert. I give some insight into the nature of the kingdom and kingdom seekers in the parable of the Goats and Sheep.

We are told to gather together and above all things have fervent charity. We gather for the same reason Christ came. Not to save ourselves but to save others.

"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." Matthew 6:33
