That’s absurd!There are times to withdrawAnd avoid the Devil’s maw,And there are times to take […]

(A Churchy Incarnation Meditation) A colonel may be subordinate to a general, but he is no less – an officer. He is no less a soldier; he is no less a servant of his country. He is no less a human. So, the eternal Son of God and the eternal Spirit are subordinate to the […]
