Pastor's meditation . . . Luke 8:19-21 Today there seems be a great concern over One’s family tree. Much of this concern came as a result of a television special based upon a book, “Roots,” which tells the story of one man’s search for personal identity. He found his personal identity by discovering the source of his family tree, and by drawing from the life experiences of his ancestors. It is true that we find personal identity by the relationships we have to our ancestors. We find that identity, too, within our immediate families. Who and what we are, and oftentimes, who we become, is determined by who our ancestors were, and who and what our parents are. This principle not only holds true in the physical realm of our existence, but is especially true in the spiritual realm. People often ask the question “Who am I?”, throughout their entire lives, without ever finding the answer. The answer to that question can be reached by replying to this question, “to whom am I spiritually related?” No one can ever determine their full identity until they know the personal source of their entire existence. In fact, one should not be as concerned about physical family relationships as he should his spiritual family relationships. This is clearly understood by Christs’ reaction to His earthly families' attempt to divert His attention, seen in Luke 8:19-21. The scene describes Christ, teaching a crowd of His followers, some spiritual truths. In the midst of His teaching, He is interrupted by His mother and brothers, who seek to have Him stop His teaching, and come home. At this point Christ makes a startling declaration. He says, “My mother and my brothers are those who hear the Word of God and do it." Christ clearly points out that the only personal identity that counts is a man’s spiritual identity, that is, identity which he finds in Christ Either he is related to Christ or he isn’t. The criteria for determining if one is related to Christ is twofold. First, one should be continually taking in the Word of God. Second, one should be continually obeying the teachings of the Word. These two criteria are the basic identifying marks of the Child of God. a brother of Christ. Christ is emphasizing the experiential part of a man's salvation. He, in essence, is saying, “to be identified as one who is spiritually related to me. these two things must be a part of your daily life.” The implication then, is that any person who doesn’t have these two things present in his life, has no right to say that his spiritual roots are in God, he is then a child of the Devil. Here is a question we must always be asking ourselves," Am I demonstrating, in my life, what I claim to be?” If you have asked yourself this question, and honestly answered' no, then perhaps you need to make sure that you really are a part of the family of God by asking Him to save you from the consequences of your sin and to give you everlasting Life.

We are exhorted to appreciate the simple things of life, and to cultivate contenfment. ‘You brought nothing into the world, and you cannot take anything out of the world.’ “One noted economist has recently noted something similar. ‘lnflation is a process of cumulative, competitive income claims in which every individual and every group feels it has no choice but to press for the maximum, in order not to fall behind Others. The result of this competition is that no one gets gets ahead, because each group’s gain
