1 Timothy 1:3-4 As I urged you when I went into Macedonia, stay there in Ephesus so that you may command certain men not to teach false doctrines any longer nor to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies. These promote controversies rather than God's work - which is by faith.
We have a great heritage. From an Anabaptist background teaching peace and service to a strong doctrine on piety and obedience, the Brubaker have committed themselves to pure and holy living and dedicated themselves to following the Word of God for hundreds of years. Truly an amazing heritage in deed!
But K & A, it is all worthless for you if you do not love and serve the Lord in the same capacity. Your heritage cannot save you. It cannot give you power to stop sinning. It doesn't make you any more special to God or better than anyone else. Your heritage is the past. You are the today. You are the future. Do not lose the vision, nor take for granted, the heritage of holiness that has been passed on. Do not lose the fire, do not lose the glory, long for God's outpouring all throughout your life, wherever you are.
Young ladies, keep the heritage alive and pass it on!
