The Order

Return to the Fathers

Families need families, but they do not need another institution.

I feel God has invited me to look to the Order of Adam, and I feel He wants me to invite others to look also. That is why I am sharing this. I am not trying to gather people under me, and I am not trying to build another church. I am simply trying to point families back to the fathers and back to God.

Many families have walked a long road through religion. Some have left one religion and gone to another, then another, still trying to find where they belong. Some have come out of religion altogether and are hanging there by themselves, trying to hear God, trying to raise their children, trying to keep going. I understand that. It is not easy.

But families need families.

Fathers need other fathers who are trying to seek God and live rightly before Him. Mothers need other mothers who understand the sacred work of the home. Children need to see other children learning to love God. Families can speak together, eat together, worship together, ask questions, share what God is teaching them, and strengthen one another without one family ruling over another.

The Order of Adam is families returning to God, looking to the fathers, honoring the Messiah, and learning again how to worship in the sacred life of the family.

This is the difference I want to keep very clear. Families gathering under God is good. Fathers counseling with fathers is good. Mothers supporting mothers is good. Children growing up around other children who love God is good. The danger begins when one man or one office starts to claim the right to govern the sacred life of another family.

That is not what I want.

My hope is to find sincere people and families who feel the same pull back to the fathers. Adam, Abel, Seth, Enoch, Methuselah, Noah, Shem, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob were not building institutions. They worshiped God, built altars, made covenant, taught their children, and walked before Him. The Messiah stands at the center of that return, because through Him the children of God return to the Father.

So this is an invitation. Look to the fathers. Ask God if this is true. Seek Him directly. Then, as He leads, let families strengthen families without becoming the very thing we are trying to leave behind.
