day no. 17,335: kingdom building and culture shaping

"I desire my children to be educated south of the Mason Dixon line and always to retain right of domicile in the Confederate States." — J. E. B. Stuart

When you know what you want, you know what you want for your children. When you love your land, you want your children to love it and to inherit it.

"Men who raise families that remain in fidelity to tradition will end up with descendants ruling the world.” — E.H. Looney

Covenantal continuity is the key to kingdom building and culture shaping.

“People who take no pride in the noble achievements of remote ancestors will never achieve anything worthy to be remembered with pride by remote descendants.” — Thomas Babington Macaulay

Those who despise their parents will raise children who despise them. The first commandment with a promise is, "Honor your father and mother," and anyone who fails to do so, or goes as far as to despise their fathers and mothers, not only misses out on the promise to inherit the earth, but they incur upon themselves the curses of those who rail against their God-provided patriarchs.

Proverbs 30:17

The eye that mocketh at his father, 

and despiseth to obey his mother, 

the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, 

and the young eagles shall eat it.

Those who flip off their fathers and mock their mothers end up flipping off their futures. They are the kind of people who end up being left for dead and devoured by wild animals instead of honored by their loved ones in burial. No one risks their lives to retrieve their bodies as men did for Jonathan. No one risks their heads to get a cup of cold water as men did for David. Those who disobey their parents dishonor the Lord and end up dying to the regret of no one.
