Hi CottonBall, hope yours was a nice Thanksgiving Day.
Remember, our liberty is given by God, not man or his government (stated as a reminder in the Declaration of Independence). So they can VIOLATE our God-given freedoms but that can never remove our right to them. Yes, we can, should, and will fight to the end for faith and freedom but our treasure is in Heaven where they can’t reach it.
It’s good to remember that Paul the Apostle called himself “The Prisoner of Christ” (a clever play on words because even though Paul’s body had been imprisoned by the Romans, his heart had long since been captured by the love of Christ).
Paul knew that God, not man, had allowed him to end up in prison in Italy where where he wrote a good deal of the New Testament. His writings from prison have been read for 2000 years - more than anything else ever written. From prison he expressed joy unspeakable and full of glory, something many who are physically free don’t have.
They can NEVER take away our Redemption by the blood of the Lamb. God is always with us and loves us, and if the theft of our rights to freedom causes us to trust in invisible Redemption more than visible natural but dead creation, then God has done us, like Paul, a great service.
God bless.

Pretty Embarrassing how Israel and Thailand were able to get hostages out of Gaza today, but @JoeBiden didn’t get a single American.
Embarrassing. We have no leadership. When asked today if any Americans will ever be released, Biden said “I’ll keep my fingers crossed.” Unreal.
So true. 2000 years is a pretty long time for someone’s writings to be read and heeded.
God bless you as well.
“Hi CottonBall, hope yours was a nice Thanksgiving Day.”
it was, just had a few friends over. And discovered the rescue kittens love turkey! I’m just about to give them some, with probiotics sneakily sprinkled on it.
How was yours?
” ...if the theft of our rights to freedom causes us to trust in invisible Redemption more than visible natural but dead creation, then God has done us, like Paul, a great service”
True, and TY for the reminder. It’s too easy to get wrapped up in earthly issues. If I can ask God to guide and direct my thoughts hourly, the day goes better. The enemy (lefties being directed by Satan) doesn’t win if they can’t get me to follow them.
You have a great writing style; easy to read and follows a logical pattern. Not that I don’t have to reread parts to understand them!
Think the electric vehicle is a new concept?
Nope check out 1909
And we’ve had golf carts with all types of speciality uses for a LONG TIME
Well expressed. I always liked that verse as it said to me that when you take a prisoner you are responsible to care for and protect them til the trial and. judgement.
Paul’s life is a beautiful example of a worldly and Satan controlled man. He was religious to the hilt but very deceived and in the dark til the light of Christ redeemed him. At this point he became the prisoner
