Prodigal: Happy 4th!

Me: Yes, I am getting ready!

This is from the Aida Mikhailovna Skripnikova in Russia in 1968.

“For the Christian there is only one course,” she said. “The Christian can’t be anything but confrontational. Once you know the truth, this means following it, upholding it, and if necessary suffering for it. I can’t be different. I can’t act any differently. I love freedom and would very much like to be free with my family and friends. But I don’t want to act against my conscience. What good is freedom to me if I can’t call God my Father? The knowledge that my soul and thoughts are free encourages and strengthens me.

Galatians 1:10

For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.
