ONE NATION UNDER GOD

For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. (2 Corinthians 10:3-5)

Welcome to our living room! As this meeting of the Women’s Christian Book Club was supposed to be at my house but was unable to get things in order there, I decided to decorate the church kitchen into a living room. New décor from my mom’s curtains she had saved for a rainy day to hang them up but never did, pictures from my sister, and others from Zellers, and red tablecloths that Jo and Valerie picked out for the church. Simple decorations and looking cozy with a clock on the mantle and the very elegant and ornate fireplace to read books by. We could at least pretend for the moment anyway!!!.

Please read the above verse again. That deserves several readings and there will probably be many interpretations. but to go along with the theme, to me it says -Knowledge can break down barriers and if we don’t know who God is, it is because we need to study Him more to appreciate the loyalty to Him others have.

“…where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty (freedom).” 2 Corinthians 3:17

“When once men recognize, both in private and public life, that Christ is King, society will at last receive the great blessings of real liberty, well-ordered discipline, peace and harmony.” Pope Pius XI, The Encyclical on the Kingship of Christ.

Here's freedom to him who would read;

Here's freedom to him who would write;

None ever feared that the truth should be heard,

But those who the truth would indict.

"Truth asks but one boon; that it not be condenmed unheard."

"The search for Truth is man's noblest endeaver, It's publication a Duty"
