A Real Spiritual Battle

Lord, have mercy on us for we truly know not what we are doing!  I am made aware of that reality more today than usual from a few posts on Facebook.  First, a friend of mine posted this article about how in S. Korea a new policy has been put into place that will remove the teaching of evolution from the high school textbooks.  There is no plan, however, to teach evolution, of course.  A baby step in the right direction.  Sadly, the comments didn't resonate the victory that has been achieved.  Comments such as dark ages and a sad day indeed were what followed.  Then again, I post Colossians 3: 12-15.  I think a scripture of encouragement and good attributes that Christians should have.  The post begins, 12 Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.  One response is "God's chosen people, how ridiculous!" I am silenced. May I truly be thankful that Christians are still permitted and have the freedom of speech. There will come a time when we will not be allowed to speak so freely.  Perhaps that time is approaching faster than we realize.
