If You Build God's House, He'll Build Yours

“Praise the Lord. Blessed are those who fear the Lord, who find great delight in his commands. Their children will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed. Wealth and riches are in their houses, and their righteousness endures forever.” - Psalm 112:1-3 (NIV) Dear Christian Dad: If you don’t think seriously honoring God is important to you or your progeny then please check out what happened to Max Jukes and his cursed brood in contrast with the blessings that cascaded down upon Jonathan Edwards and his extended family. Enjoy. In 1874, Richard Dugdale, on behalf of the New York Prison Commission began to visit state prison facilities and, in doing so, discovered a particular family connection between some of the incarcerated guests in Ulster County. The research led to a publication of a study entitled The Jukes: A Study in Crime, Pauperism, Disease and Heredity. He traced the lineage of this family tree to a man of Dutch ancestry named “Max,” born in 1720 in the Hudson Valley and he wasn’t a particular fan of God or raising his kids in a righteous manner and his stupid, evil devil-wife was onboard with his goofy glide-path. Dugdale estimated that there were 1,200 members of this family tree and was able to report on the details of 540 of these descendants, plus another 169 who married into the family line. Of the total group of related individuals, Dugdale found that:
These paupers and criminals cost the state of New York $1.5 million to pay for their incarcerations and $1.25 million in public welfare and other costs to society apart from incarceration. That’s $35M+ in today’s costs. In 1900, Albert Edward Winship published another supplemental study, Jukes-Edwards: A Study in Education and Heredity, this time tracing the descendants of America’s leading theologian, Jonathan Edwards to compare them with the Jukes family. The results are fascinating. He reported that out of approximately 1,400 known descendants of Edwards ...
You see my brethren, Jonathan Edwards built God’s house so God built his house. Max Jukes blew God’s house off, so God blew his house/family off. “ ... for them that honor me I will honor, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.” – 1Sam 2:30 (KJV) Doug Giles is Pastor of Liberty Fellowship in Wimberley, TX, and is the founder of ClashDaily.com Follow Doug on Instagram and Twitter @TheArtOfDoug. |

4 Lessons From The Martyrdom of Charlie Kirk 3 MIN READ ◦ DOUG GILES Here’s four things that hit me after Charlie Kirk was assassinated yesterday. ONE: Jesus said if you follow him you will be hated and some will be killed because of fidelity to Him and His word. “If the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before it hated you.” John 15:18 “If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would not have sin; but now they have both seen and hated Me and My Father as...
Are "Youth Groups" Biblical? 4 MIN READ ◦ DOUG GILES I’ve got a big problem with Christian youth groups. Here are four reasons why I don't like them. It could go up to fifty by the end of this chapter, but for now … we’ll keep it at four. Number one. In my experience, youth groups are lame. When I first got saved, I was twenty-one and a college student. So I was advised to go to “the College Group” that our church had. So I did, and it was weird. Most of the guys and girls that were there...
Thou Shalt Not Kill, but Thou Shalt Hunt 4 MIN READ ◦ DOUG GILES I wish I had a new gun for every time I’ve had an anti-hunter who (more often than not) is also an agnostic or an atheist, quote to me the sixth commandment, namely “Thou shalt not kill” as a proof text against my God-blessed pursuit of hunting. If I had a new gun, per misquote, from the desperate bunny lovers, then my battery would make Ted Nugent’s arsenal look like Ed Bagley, Jr’s, because, OMG, do they toss that verse around...
