(Eph
4:14-15 NIV: Then we will no longer be infants,
tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown
here and there by every wind of teaching and by
the cunning and craftiness of men in their
deceitful scheming. Instead, speaking the truth
in love, we will in all things grow up into him
who is the Head, that is, Christ. From him the
whole body, joined and held together by every
supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up
in love, as each part does its work..)
Mathematics and money has built almost
everything manmade that we see. Faith and Love
should do better than that. I coined the term
"Christian Infrastructure" for that reason: to
clearly define specific goals and objectives in
a system of Management By Objectives (MBO) known
as the Home Church International (HCI). Please
view the HCI website. It is not perfect, but is
becoming so through its continuing editorial
process based on the Holy Scriptures and the
additions and corrections of staff,
contributors, and the viewing public.
"... thy will be done on earth as it is in
heaven." The system of organization of the
Kingdom of God is Christian Infrastructure.
Doing the Will of God the Father on this earth
is the practice of love which is building the
Kingdom of God on this earth. Christian
Infrastructure constitutes the spiritual and
material resources necessary to do every good
work, specifically everything in and around the
home as a secure base of operations for life.
The home, family, and everything in and around
the home as a secure base of operations for life
is the fundamental unit of society. In the HCI,
this is based on the church family-of-choice.
Every home will have a basic library that
supports the culture of the HCI.
Since the Lord has all authority, the outcome of
any event is entirely determined by the manner
in which Jesus allocates resources to the
Christian Infrastructure of the Brotherhood of
Believers. The system of organization for
allocating resources is love: giving and
forgiving whoever asks. A Christian would not
ask for anything except that which is in
agreement with God. Unlike money which is a
medium of exchange, love is a gift seeking only
love in return. The physical infrastructure of
the HCI includes this website, homes, land,
vehicles, home businesses of various kinds, and
our lives which are wholly dedicated to serving
God by serving others through the HCI
Family-of-Choice. No one can give more than
everything. Others who love God and one another
will do the same. The Christian Infrastructure
of the HCI begins with God who inspired the Holy
Scriptures as His Written Word which testifies
about Jesus the Christ His Living Word, and
myself as the Founder and First Student of the
Home Church International.
Family-of-Choice - If a family is
Christ-Centered, strengthening the family is a
good thing. Racism and organized crime supports
captivity of the flesh. Not all families should
be strengthened; some should be free to
dissolve. (Prov 26:8 KJV: As he that bindeth a
stone in a sling, so is he that giveth honour to
a fool.) (Mat 12:47-49 KJV: Then one said unto
him, "Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand
without, desiring to speak with thee. But he
answered and said unto him that told him, Who is
my mother? and who are my brethren?" And he
stretched forth his hand toward his disciples,
and said, "Behold my mother and my brethren!")
In
any campaign, the first order of business is to
establish a secure base of operations: the Home
Church Family of Choice, a family worth
strengthening. (Exo 20:12 KJV: Honour thy father
and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon
the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.)
Anyone with functioning sex organs can make a
baby, but that does not qualify them as good
parents who will train their children to do what
is right and provide a secure base of operations
for their future. Some parents are even members
of an illegitimate segregated private
infrastructure: organized crime. If they are not
members of such an organization, many are
sympathetic to it and exhibit many of the same
values. Under these circumstances, a child could
not honor his father and mother without
dishonoring God. (Mat
10: 36-38 KJV)
Jesus regarded his disciples as his family of
choice based on their obedience to the will of
God His Father. This relationship was
established by the Spirit, not the flesh. (Mat
12:47-50 KJV).
The beginning of understanding is the acceptance
that you do not know. Children are children and
accept that they do not know and accept the
training of their parents and elders. For good
or evil, this is the hierarchy of the flesh. |
