It is for freedom that Christ has set us free.\xa0Stand firm,\xa0then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. Galatians 5:1 (NIV)\xa0
\u2026Because we loved you so much, we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God\xa0but our lives as well. 1 Thessalonians 2:8 (NIV)
In a very short time,\xa0will not Lebanon\xa0be turned into a fertile field and the fertile field seem like a forest? In that day\xa0the deaf\xa0will hear the words of the scroll, and out of gloom and darkness the eyes of the blind will see. Once more the humble\xa0will rejoice in the\xa0Lord;\xa0the needy\xa0will rejoice in the Holy One\xa0of Israel. Therefore this is what the\xa0Lord, who redeemed\xa0Abraham,\xa0says to the descendants of Jacob: \u201cNo longer will Jacob be ashamed; no longer will their faces grow pale. When they see among them their children, the work of my hands, they will keep my name holy; \xa0they will acknowledge the holiness of the Holy One\xa0of Jacob, and will stand in awe of the God of Israel. Those who are wayward\xa0in spirit will gain understanding; those who complain will accept instruction.\u201d Isaiah 29:17-24 (NIV)
