"We received this world as an inheritance from past generations, but also as a loan from future generations, to whom we will have to return it.”

Pope Francis

Christ has set us free to live a free life. So take your stand! Never again let anyone put a harness of slavery on you. 

I am emphatic about this. The moment any one of you submits to circumcision or any other rule-keeping system, at

that same moment Christ's hard-won gift of freedom is squandered. Galatians 5:1-2

I greet you with the great words, grace and peace! We know the meaning of those words because Jesus Christ

rescued us from this evil world we're in by offering himself as a sacrifice for our sins. God's plan is that we all experience that

rescue. Glory to God forever! Oh, yes! Galatians 1:3-5

“Because a thing seems difficult for you, do not think it impossible for anyone to accomplish.”

Marcus Aurelius

And I command you today: Love God, your God. Walk in his ways. Keep his commandments, regulations, and rules so that you will live, really live, live exuberantly, blessed by God, your

God, in the land you are about to enter and possess. But I warn you: If you have a change of heart, refuse to listen

obediently, and willfully go off to serve and worship other gods, 

you will most certainly die. You won't last long in the land that you are crossing the Jordan to enter and possess. 

I call Heaven and Earth to witness against you today: I place before you Life and Death, Blessing and Curse. Choose life so

that you and your children will live. And love God, your God, listening obediently to him, firmly

embracing him. Oh yes, he is life itself, a long life settled on the soil that God, your God, promised to give your ancestors,

Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Deuteronomy 30:16-20
