The Christian family is under attack daily in the disguise of The State Child Protective Services.
Make no mistake about it, The State CPS agencies are not about protecting children. It is more about filling their State "coffers" and desecrating the "Natural" Christian family unit.
First of all Christian and non-Christians alike must learn the legal definitions concerning what a "natural"family is.
A natural family is one created by God and nature. It is one created by by
consanguinity which is defined by blood, heredity, and ancestors.
Not by infinity which is defined by law i,e, marriage or adoption.
A family started by marriage or adoption can end by the same act it was created by i,e, divorce or "Wrongful" adoption law suits.
The legal definition of an orphan is "a child who has lost both of his or her "natural" parents" i,e, death, auto accident, natural disasters, war, or terminal illness.
It does not include those children that have "natural" parents i,e, ones that are still a live and in which the judicial system has "terminated the parental rights".
These children are not "orphans" but created what is known as "legal" orphans.
A "legal" orphan is a child who has been taken away from his or her "natural" parents care, custody, and control and the natural parent and child bond has been severed by a judicial act known as "termination of parental rights".
When "terminating a parents rights" to their own children. The Juvenile System is creating a legal "orphan".
However, the real definition of an orphan does not cover the newly created judicial act of "terminating parental rights" as an orphan is a child under the age of 18 with no living "natural" parents.
The most important thing is for Christian communities to come together in the Spirit of "There Is One Lord, One Faith, and One Baptism" and create a network of Christian Community Pro-Bobo Services and Out-reach programs.
Christians and non-Christians a like are being attacked by The State Child Protective Services because CPS does not realize that "poverty" and "neglect" are not synonymous to one another. They have made it so.
Poverty is caused by a lack of opportunity and circumstances. Yes, society is responsible solely for bringing about poverty. However, Christian and non-Christian faith based communities can change that which "Secular" society has caused.
Neglect on the other hand may or may not be intentional. The parents may not know they were neglecting their children. This is where rather than removing children from their parents care, custody, and control, and placing them into a home with complete strangers can be addressed and help the parents of said children realize that they must put aside their wants and needs and concentrate on the needs of their children.
Some young women are too young to be mothers. Therefore, it is up to the faith based communities to teach young women and men alike about from abstainting from sex" until they are married.
Children should not have children.
Faith based communities need to teach their young people that "You are Worth Waiting For" policy and the reasons why one must abstain from having sex besides the obvious reasons.
The Family is the cornerstone of our American society. Marriage is one of the sacraments that was instituted by our Lord himself. It is to be honored and upheld.
The family is another institute created by our Lord. It was never meant to be desecrated and separated.
It is because of the lack of family commitment towards one another.
Here is who Christ says is his family
The one who does the Will of My Father in Heaven is my brother, sister, and mother". Matthew 12:50.
Christian based "Pro-Bono" services is doing the Will of the Father in heaven.
It does exactly what The Apostle James writes in his letter in James 2:14-17
What does it profit my brothers and sisters, if someone says he or she has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him or her? If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food and one of you say to him or her.
"Depart in peace, be warmed and filled", but do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit?" Thus also faith by itself if it does not have works is dead.".
Christianity is more than a religion. It is a relationship with Jesus Christ.
The Apostle James defines what pure religion is in 1:27
Pure and undefiled religion before God The Father is this: To Care for orphans and widows in their misfortunate and to keep oneself unstained by the world.
What better to serve the community and the apply the basics of pure and undefiled religion by serving those less fortunate than ourselves and helping those truly in need of what James states in 1:27 and 2:14-17.
The Christian and even non"Christian" faith based communities have similar agendas.
The one thing all Christians have in common and putting aside denominational beliefs and pointing the finger at everyone who goes to a different church be it on a Saturday or Sunday is to remember
A House Against Itself Cannot Stand
and this is what the Secular Humanists and New Agers look for)is that we are all one in Christ Jesus.
We must remember as Christians that is there One Lord, One Faith and One Baptism over all of us. No one denomination has exclusive rights to the Kingdom of God.
To say that one denomination does hold exclusive rights says one thing they go against what Christ truly taught here on earth and the Apostles continued to teach and preach after Christ ascended in to heaven.
If the other faith based communities
which include Islamics truly believe what their founder of their faith taught they would all be reunited under one roof and stop preverting the Koran and what Mohmmad taught while he was a live on earth as well.
Christians, Islamics, and Jewish all need to come together and remember we all believe in the same God The Father.
When God became Jehovah. He became approachable and a loving God towards all.
God is no respecter of persons. He calls on all of us to serve his widows, the poor, the needy, and orphans in their misfortunate.
He calls on us all to make a commitment to serve him and when serving him we serve his people. All of his people regardless to their faiths.
Faith is defined for us all in Hebrews 11:1. Only read the chapter.
What better way is there to serve God The Father by serving his all his children and all of our brothers and sisters by establishing Christian and Non-Christian faith based Pro-Bono community services.
It is easy for people to talk the talk, and talk is cheap and actions speak louder than words. So rather than talk the talk. Walk the walk.
Christians, when you see a family in need of help. Help them out. Do not call the State and get CPS involved.
Churches have many professionals within the membership as does other faith-based communities. These churches, mosques, and synagogues need to come together as one and ask for everyone to commit sometime to Pro-Bono Faith Based Services.
Every church, mosque, and synagogue has attorneys, health care professionals, teachers, and even some Faith-based social workers in them.
All these professionals need to put their particular faith in action rather than into words.
James 2:14-17 applies to everyone I think. Faith and good works is an effective combination. They go hand and hand. Do not talk about your faith put it into actions. That is where it is needed.
Child Care workers can establish a "Mother's Day Out" program within their churches, mosques, and syangogues for mothers of children who need a couple of hours twice a week for themselves.
Being a mother is a full-time job. Even mothers need time to themselves.
This is where a "Mothers Day Out" Program can benefit them.
When a mother is under less stress. The better she will be able to take care of her children. Lessly likely to abuse or neglect her children due to being so tired and worn-out.
Faith-based communities should offer "child-rearing classes" to the young parents. This should not be taught by so call social workers that work by case-history and theory.
Nine out of ten times, most CPS workers are not married, have no children and no actual experience of raising a child of their own.
Faith-based communities should teach "marriage-preparation classes" to ensure that young couples realize what a marriage in their particular faith is all about.
Communication skills needs to be taught to young couples before they get married because the second biggest reason for divorce in the United States is a lack of good communication skills between the husband and wife.
The first reason is finances and the third is "IN-LAWS".
Christian marriage is between a baptized man and woman. They are marrying each other and not each others families. This is one thing that needs to be emphasized when couples do marry.
I can not speak about other faith-based communities as to what they consider marriage to be.
Christ clearly speaks about what A Christian Marriage is all about as does the Apostle Paul in I Corinthians.
Christians should marry other Christians of like denomination not outside of their particular denominational communities.
This way, divorce will be avoided.
There is still to much animosity between the Christian communities and there is no unity in sight because of this animosity in fact.
Division must end and unity must began to prevent further desecration of the Christian family. The same goes for
Islam and Jewish Faith Communities as well.
Who cares who was suppose to succeed who and all. The center core here is that you are all one in Allah.
The same goes for the Jewish. Who cares if you are reformed, conservative, orthodox, or Hisidic.
The core thing here is that you all believe in Jehovah. Don't you?
The State Child Protective Services is an equal opportunity destroyer of families. They don't care what religion you come from.
They have redefined in what their own terms is Abuse and Neglect? and it is not the same definition as one finds in the Webester's Dictionary ok.
Children regardless to their faith-based backgrounds are money to the state.
Pro-Bono faith-based community and out reach services is what it will take to stop CPS from coming into the homes of families and separating children from their "natural" parents care, custody, and control.
Commitment and Service is the key here and not lack of thereof is not.
Our call is to Commitment and Service.
That is what we are all called to do as Christians.
