Hello,
A normal week back at work and working on the house. My roommate and I were furniture shopping at Ikea to replace our worn out couch.
This week is an important week about the founding of the USA. Also Saturday (Monday day off) is Canada Day for our neighbors to the north. This week we are going to talk about Christians and earthly governments. The church has a complicated relationship with government we are to obey the earthly government but at the same time we are told to expect persecution by the government. This does make for a complicated relationship.
