I am not into "Genealogy", I am not connected to family now and names on a sheet of paper do nothing for me.
I would be interested in some writings by ancestors, but most of the genealogy today only has names and dates. Makes no sense to me.
I guess people are clamoring to see if they are related to famous people. It seems a little like ancestor worship to me and somewhat prideful.
If we are going to brag about our genealogy then we can be excited that we are related to NOAH, it is not possible to go further back than that.
I choose to look forward not backward. I cannot evangelize those dead people on those lists, they had no impact on my life and probably most were not believers.
God told Paul to say; Philippians 3:13 "Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,"
May we seek God for today, remembering what He did for the believers of the New Testament era, to spur us on to greater obedience and faith. Let not the telling of the stories of old be enough, but let them guide us to trust Christ for our life more.
