Bible in a Year:
If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
Twenty long years passed before British journalist John McCarthy—a five-year hostage during Lebanon’s grueling civil war—met the man who negotiated his release. When McCarthy finally met U.N. envoy Giandomenico Picco, McCarthy simply said, “Thank you for my freedom!” His heartfelt words carried great weight because Picco had risked his own life during dangerous negotiations to secure freedom for McCarthy and others.
We as believers can relate to such hard-won freedom. Jesus gave up His life—enduring death on a Roman cross—to secure spiritual freedom for all people, including each of us. Now as His children, we know “it is for freedom that Christ has set us free,” the apostle Paul boldly declared (Galatians 5:1).
The gospel of John also teaches of freedom in Christ, noting, “If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed” (John 8:36).
But free in what ways? In Jesus, we experience freedom not only from sin and its hold on us but also from guilt, shame, worry, Satan’s lies, superstitions, false teaching, and eternal death. No longer hostages, we have freedom to show love to enemies, walk in kindness, live with hope, and love our neighbors. As we follow the Holy Spirit’s leading, we can forgive as we’ve been forgiven.
For all of this, let’s thank God today. Then let’s love so others will know the power of His freedom too.
Reflect & Pray
What spiritual chains still hold you hostage? As you release those chains to God, what words can you use to thank Him for setting you free?
Dear liberating God, thank You for my freedom—for setting me free from spiritual death and releasing me to love.
Hi!
Honestly here, as well.
You don't mince words. You are to the point and all about the facts. However, you are charming enough to tell people the truth yet still not offend them.

Honesty has stomped my ass dry more than once, that does not make me a liar, just guarded.

You Communicate Clearly
You’re the type of person who thinks before you talk. You speak in an ordered, insightful, and concise way.
You speak authoritatively and with conviction. If you take the time to say something, you stand behind it.
You only say what you need to. You believe that your words are strongest when they’re not diluted.
When you have a lot to say, you map out your words ahead of time. You prefer to speak in bullet points.
I communicate PASSIONATELY.

You Communicate Passionately
You speak from the heart. You can't separate your feelings from what you're saying, even in a professional context. You tend to speak dramatically, with lots of passion and emotion. It's easy for you to get swept up in what you're saying.
You like to connect with people early on so that you can personalize what you are saying to them. When you converse, you try to find common ground and harmony. Even if you disagree with someone, you try to emphasize where you agree.
How's everyone doing this morning?
Good morning, Everyone.
Good morning
Thank you, Luvy, for preparing the Canteen
for today's activities.
Good morning Canteeners. How is everyone?
My results fall somewhere between Honestly and Clearly.
Sometimes these quizzes feel like self-evaluations in a job. LOL
Up at 0400 and figured it would be a good time
to drop by the Canteen before we head out for our walk.
We haven't been since last Friday and
I need to keep the old body moving.
The weather has been interesting.
We got rain, sleet, and rain, yesterday.
The Canteen is
Come on in and sit for a while.
There's always plenty of coffee, tea,
pancakes, conversation, silliness, and plain old BS

Hi Luv. Sez here this week that the rain must be gone because to paraphrase the Johnny Mash hit “I can communicate clearly now...”
