Text Box: This is why those missionaries who seek to teach people how to grow more and better crops, better hygienic and sanitary practices, workable household and business economic methods, and other material things, may have some success, but have a distorted end product which incorporates elements of Christian phrases into a pagan faith, and a population where most individuals remain interested primarily in what benefits themselves.

But if you live Christianity you informally teach Christianity. If you live Christianity you can teach Christianity while teaching basic education. 

The secularists and atheistic humanists began their informal take over of the systems of education in the Western world many decades ago. They now control colleges and universities throughout America and Europe, including colleges of education where elementary and high school teachers are taught. They are even predominant and in control of most Roman Catholic universities, and many Orthodox and Roman seminaries.

True Christians must reassert the secularists and atheistic humanists control over these facilities, and must use these same Divine Focus First methods not only in missionary work abroad, but in missionary work at home.

Using the missionary example, if while teaching reading, writing, and arithmetic, as well as geography and all the arts and sciences, the teacher uses Christian references which teach Christian principles, Christianity will be injected into the lives of the children, the older generations will be influenced, and future generations will be influenced at home and that influence strengthened at school.

The beauty of this is that Christian principles encourage good husbandry and agricultural practices, hygienic and sanitary living conditions, the living wage and true social justice.

Text Box: Life is precious, for once it is ended it can never be restored. But people are willing to risk or even sacrifice their lives if they believe they may or will receive a reward. Therefore, a person who lives in terrible conditions is willing to risk everything in an attempt to have a better life because he has nothing to lose, everything to gain, and what ever he gains is a reward. Similarly, an Islamic terrorist is willing to die in a suicide attack because he believes he will receive a reward in heaven. 

But to one who seeks the kingdom of God and God’s justice, his own life is a transitory thing to be appreciated, enjoyed, sustained, fought for, and given up or surrendered when God takes it or allows it to be taken. He therefore will not take his own life, for that would prevent him from entering the kingdom of God and would be contrary to God’s justice. Nor will he wantonly harm others, for that also may prevent him from entering the kingdom of God and is contrary to God’s justice. But he will help others without seeking reward because Jesus Christ taught that is one of the things which He wishes us to do, and the Christian constantly strives to make the core of his being possess what Christ taught. The Christian remembers Christ taught we must first love God, His angels, and all other humans; and second, we must not just avoid harming others but must help others.

These things which Jesus taught us have become very popular sayings which can not be disputed. It is impossible to argue with, “No man can serve two masters.” But the instruction, “Seek ye first the kingdom of God,” is a mis-quote. The actual instruction is, after being forced to acknowledge there are some things about which we can do nothing, such as becoming taller, or more handsome, we are then instructed, “Seek ye therefore first the kingdom of God, and his justice, and all these things shall be added unto you.”

This means, since there are things about which you can do nothing, and since there are things which will never change, seek what you can obtain and Text Box: attempt to do that which is within you ability to do. And the very first thing which you should seek has two parts which can never be separated: Seek the kingdom of God and seek His justice. When you do this, then the good things will retain their status. The bad things, even those bad things about which you can do nothing, will be corrected and resolved - but that resolution will be done by God when and how He wills the resolution to take place. Until that resolution takes place, prepare yourself and every one else in the whole world, because you will not attain the kingdom of God if you seek it only for yourself, nor will you attain or practice God’s justice if you seek it only for yourself. Make God your master, and yourself His servant, having no one else for your master. For the accolades of all of mankind will only last until the sound fades away, and all the gold in the world can not be spent nor can it be enjoyed by the dead - and we all will surely die.
