FAMILY HISTORY
The Bible is big into family history. How a man connected with his ancestors affected his role in society and often, his trade in life.
I have spent many years studying the unknowns of my ancestors, long before Ancestry.com made it so easy (and sometimes, deceptive). I had to research each family so I could reconstruct the family links in the correct order. If you have misinformation, you go on a wild goose chase for generations. So, for a genealogist, accuracy is everything. We cannot guess, but must prove every source.
Genealogy is much easier when you’ve been adopted into the family of God. Everyone has the same father, and everyone knows we are brothers and sisters in the same family. We have much in common, generation after generation. And the lessons learned about previous faith generations can be appropriated for my generation, as well.
Whether your ancestors were wonderful or weird, you now have a new spiritual family. Join the Reunion this weekend.
