If You Build God's House, He'll Build Yours
If You Build God's House, He'll Build Yours 2 MIN READ ◦ DOUG GILES |
“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. |

The Overcomer's Prayer 1 MIN READ ◦ DOUG GILES Try praying this out loud. It'll put hair on your chest. IN THE NAME OF JESUS, by his power and doing, I proclaim that God is on my side, and, therefore, I have nothing to fear from men or devils. If God did not spare his own Son but handed him over on my account then he will definitely and graciously give me all things. No matter what men or devils say, God has chosen me and declared me, “not guilty”. No one has the authority to condemn me....
God's Enemies Are Doomed Pissants 1 MIN READ ◦ DOUG GILES Here's a solid biblical proclamation to shout over the evil that's trying to saddle our planet right now. FATHER, WE DECLARE, in the mighty name of Jesus, it is you who sits above the circle of the earth, not some powerful evil man, woman, group, or wicked nation. We agree with your word, that these so-called mighty, evil mongers are mere grasshoppers to you and that they are doomed and you will bring them to naught. We declare their...
How Would Jesus Riot? 3 MIN READ ◦ DOUG GILES Jesus was not above kicking some butt and breaking stuff if need be. Look, Jesus was no wussy. For example, one of the first snapshots we have of Jesus in John’s account of his ministry was his turning water into wine and cleansing the temple, two things the teetotalers and the timid do not like being in the sacred text. Check it out in John 2:13-17 13 When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover, Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 14 In the temple...
