Podcast date: January 1, 2021 Use of scripture (especially entire passages of scripture) is strategic: this is spiritual warfare!!! "Silence in the face of evil is evil itself: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act." Dietrich Bonhoeffer. February 1, 1933. Bonhoeffer's radio address was suddenly cut off just before he was to warn the German people to not to follow a leader that "mocks God". 2 days earlier on 1/30/33, Adolf Hitler was appointed chancellorIt is unknown if the radio silence was intentional-however he was one of the first to defy Hitler. September of 1933. The national church of Germany demanded the removal of church leaders of Jewish descent. November 1933 they demanded the removal of the Old Testament. In 1937 seminarians were arrested by the Gestapo for being a part of the Confessing Church. Bonhoeffer was the exception regarding issues of antisemitism and state-sanctioned violence against the Jews. April 9, 1945 Bonhoeffer was executed for plotting against Adolf Hitler. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere-Letter from A Birmingham Jail Martin Luther King, Jr. The Lord's Prayer-Matthew 6:7-15 Submission to the Authorities--Romans 13 13Let every personbe subject to the governing authorities. Forthere is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God.2Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment.3For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and youwill receive his approval,4forhe is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God,an avenger who carries out God's wrath on the wrongdoer. ...if government violates or exceeds its commission at any point, for example by making itself master over the belief of the congregation, then at this point, indeed, obedience is to be refused, for conscience’ sake, for the Lord’s sake. Dietrich Bonhoeffer-Ethics On that day I will punish everyone who leaps over the threshold, and those who fill their master's house with violence and fraud. Zephaniah 1:9 Bonhoeffer's dissertation Sanctorum Communio-meaning Jesus exists "for others" . See Episode 6: The Heavenly Dominion. Bonhoeffer stated we can be Christians today in only two ways, through "(1)prayer and (2) doing justice among human beings." "Our love for God is demonstrated in the ways we treat other human beings, most especially those from whom we have nothing to gain, those with whom we have little or nothing in common, the powerless, the outsiders, the strangers, the vulnerable, the forgotten, the hated and the despised. Either we love them, or we don’t love God." Dietrich Bonhoeffer "The day will come when people will once more be called to speak the word of God in such a way that the world is changed and renewed. It will be in a new language, perhaps quite nonreligious language but liberating and redeeming like Jesus' language, so that people will be alarmed, yet overcome by its power-the language of a new righteousness and truth a language proclaiming that God makes peace with humankind and that God's kingdom is drawing near." Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Letters and Papers from Prison.

The Promise of America's Freedom: "The reality that all men and women are made in the image of God with certain inherent God given rights just by virtue of our humanity. These truths in the Declaration really are indeed self evident. Never before in all recorded history was a nation founded on the premise that's governments role is to protect those very rights-to secure them." Secretary of State Michael Pompeo's speech at the Reagan Library https://youtu.be/2PWyaAqlMs0 (starting at 9:30) Listening to Pompeo's entire speech is well worth your time. Preamble to the Declaration of Independence We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. Preamble to the Constitution: We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America. The Divine Warrior can be anyone. “Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country,” John F Kennedy, January 20, 1961 "I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." Pledge of Allegiance United States Constitution 1 Kings 8:44-46: 44 “If your people go out to battle against their enemy, by whatever way you shall send them, and they pray to theLordtoward the city that you have chosen and the house that I have built for your name,45then hear in heaven their prayer and their plea, and maintain their cause. Prayer to protect the Divine Warriors Heavenly Father, thank you for your grace, love and mercy. Please protect the Divine Warriors. Thank you for our Commander in Chief, President Trump. God leads our Commander in Chief by imparting wisdom, leadership and fortitude. Heavenly Father, please protect the President and his family. May God's Holy Angels keep him safe. Isaiah 40:28-31 Have you not known? Have you not heard? TheLordisthe everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable. 29He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength. 30Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; 31butthey who wait for theLordshall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wingslike eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint. God Bless the Air Force, Space Force and all those who engage in air operations. May you mount up like wings of eagles: Isaiah 40:31 May God's Holy Angels keep you safe. God Bless the Marines: Those who who engage the enemy head on with courage, strength and valor. Iron sharpens iron so does one man sharpen another: Proverbs 27:17. May God's Holy Angels keep you safe. God Bless the Coast Guard and the Navy-those who leave safe haven and endure rough seas to rescue those in danger and defend the Homeland. Psalm 18:47-49-the God who gave me vengeance and subdued peoples under me,who rescued me from my enemies; yes, you exalted me above those who rose against me; you delivered me fromthe man of violence. May God's Holy Angels keep you safe. God bless the boots on the ground. Blow a trumpet in Zion; sound an alarm on my holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble, for the day of the Lord is coming; it is near,2a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and thick darkness! Like blackness there is spread upon the mountains a great and powerful people; their like has never been before,nor will be again after them through the years of all generations.3Fire devours before them,and behind them a flame burns. The land is like the garden of Eden before them,but behind them a desolate wilderness, and nothing escapes them.Joel 2:1-3 May God's Holy Angels Keep you safe. Prayer warriors are Divine Warriors-Ephesians 6: 10-20-The Whole Armor of God: Finally,be strong in the Lord and inthe strength of his might. Put onthe whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand againstthe schemes of the devil. Forwe do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but againstthe rulers, against the authorities, againstthe cosmic powers overthis present darkness, againstthe spiritual forces of evilin the heavenly places. Thereforetake up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand inthe evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. Stand therefore,having fastened on the belt of truth, andhaving put on the breastplate of righteousness, (Psalm 51)and,as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; (Psalm 27)and take the helmet of salvation (John 3:16), and the sword of the Spirit (Isaiah 54:17), which is the word of God (John 1) , prayingat all timesin the Spirit,with all prayer and supplication. To that end,keep alert with all perseverance, makingsupplication for all the saints, andalso for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouthboldly to proclaimthe mystery of the gospel, for which Iam an ambassadorin chains, that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak. Let the weak say, "I am a Warrior." Joel 3:10 Isaiah 54:17 Noweaponthat is fashioned against you shall succeed, and you shall refute every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of theLordand their vindication from me, declares theLord.” Zephaniah 3-Judgment on Jerusalem and the Nations 3Woe to her who is rebellious and defiled, the oppressing city! 2She listens to no voice; she accepts no correction. She does not trust in theLord; she does not draw near to her God. 3Her officials within her are roaring lions; her judges areevening wolves that leave nothing till the morning. 4Her prophets are fickle, treacherous men; her priestsprofane what is holy; they do violence to the law. 5TheLordwithin heris righteous; he does no injustice; every morning he shows forth his justice; each dawn he does not fail; butthe unjust knows no shame. 6“I have cut off nations; their battlements are in ruins; I have laid waste their streets so that no one walks in them; their cities have been made desolate, without a man, without an inhabitant. 7I said, ‘Surely you will fear me; you will accept correction. Then your[a]dwelling would not be cut off according to all that I have appointed against you.’[b] Butall the more they were eager to make all their deeds corrupt. 8“Thereforewait for me,” declares theLord, “for the day when I rise up to seize the prey. For my decision isto gather nations, to assemble kingdoms, to pour out upon them my indignation, all my burning anger; for in the fire of my jealousy all the earth shall be consumed. The Conversion of the Nations 9“For at that time I will change the speech of the peoples toa pure speech, that all of them may call upon the name of theLord and serve him with one accord. 10From beyond the riversof Cush my worshipers, the daughter of my dispersed ones, shall bring my offering. 11“On that dayyou shall not be put to shame because of the deeds by which you have rebelled against me; for thenI will remove from your midst your proudly exultant ones, andyou shall no longer be haughty in my holy mountain. 12But I will leave in your midst a peoplehumble and lowly. They shall seek refuge in the name of theLord, 13those who are left in Israel; theyshall do no injustice and speak no lies, nor shall there be found in their mouth a deceitful tongue. For they shall graze and lie down, and none shall make them afraid.” Israel's Joy and Restoration 14Sing aloud, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel! Rejoice and exult with all your heart, O daughter of Jerusalem! 15TheLordhas taken away the judgments against you; he has cleared away your enemies. The King of Israel,theLord, is in your midst; you shall never again fear evil. 16On that day it shall be said to Jerusalem: “Fear not, O Zion; let not your hands grow weak. 17TheLordyour God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing. 18I will gather those of you who mournfor the festival, so that you will no longer suffer reproach.[c] 19Behold, at that timeI will deal with all your oppressors. AndI will save the lame and gather the outcast, and I will changetheir shame intopraise and renown in all the earth. 20At that time I will bring you in, at the time when I gather you together; for I will make you renowned and praised among all the peoples of the earth, when I restore your fortunes before your eyes,” says theLord. Final Instructions and Benediction 1 Thesselonians 5:12-28 12We ask you, brothers,to respect those who labor among you andare over you in the Lord and admonish you,13and to esteem them very highly in love because of their work.Be at peace among yourselves.14And we urge you, brothers, admonishthe idle,encourage the fainthearted,help the weak,be patient with them all.15See thatno one repays anyone evil for evil, but alwaysseek to do good to one another and to everyone.16Rejoice always,17pray without ceasing,18give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.19Do not quench the Spirit.20Do not despiseprophecies,21buttest everything; hold fast what is good.22Abstain from every form of evil. 23Now maythe God of peace himselfsanctify you completely, and may yourwholespirit and soul and body be kept blameless atthe coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.24He who calls you is faithful;he will surely do it.25Brothers, pray for us.26Greet all the brothers with a holy kiss.27I put you under oath before the Lord to havethis letter read to all the brothers.28The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

Podcast date: January 6, 2021 It's time now for something to be done. He who has the courage to act must know that he will probably go down in German history as a traitor. But if he fails to act, he will be a traitor before his own conscience. -Claus Schenk von Stauffenberg “For there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, nor hidden that will not be known.” Luke 2:12 (NKJV) The Lord's Prayer Jesus Cleanses the Temple-John 2:13-21 13The Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesuswent up to Jerusalem.14In the temple he found those who were selling oxen and sheep and pigeons, and the money-changers sitting there.15And making a whip of cords, he drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and oxen. And he poured out the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables.16And he told those who sold the pigeons,“Take these things away; do not makemy Father's house a house of trade.”17His disciples remembered that it was written,“Zeal for your house will consume me.” 18So the Jews said to him,“What sign do you show us for doing these things?”19Jesus answered them,“Destroy this temple, and in three daysI will raise it up.”20The Jews then said, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple,[c]and will you raise it up in three days?”21But he was speaking aboutthe temple of his body.22When therefore he was raised from the dead,his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believedthe Scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken. 1 Corinthians 3:16-18 16Do you not know that you[a]are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you?17If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him. ForGod's temple is holy, and you are that temple. 1 Corinthians 6:19 Do you not know that your body is a templeoftheHolySpirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own. The church is not a Cathedral. We are God's Temples Lets remember to take care of our temples. We the People. Throughout history brave men had the courage to take a stand against injustice. Martin Luther stood up to this practice by posting the 95 theses on the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany, on October 31, 1517. We all have access to God. Operation Valkyrie: July 20, 1944. Claus Schenk von Stauffenberg Dietrich Bonhoeffer-Ethics Powers Of Good-by Dietrich Bonhoeffer With every power for good to stay and guide me, comforted and inspired beyond all fear, I'll live these days with you in thought beside me, and pass, with you, into the coming year. The old year still torments our hearts, unhastening, the long days of our sorrow still endures, Father, grant to the souls thou hast been chastening that thou hast promised, the healing and the cure. Should it be ours to drain the cup of grieving even to the dregs of pain, at thy command, we will not falter, thankfully receiving all that is given by thy loving hand. But should it by thy will once more to release us to life's enjoyment and its good sunshine, that which we've learned from sorrow shall increase us, and all our life be dedicate as thine. Today, let candles shed their radiant greeting, lo, on our darkness are they not thy light leading us, haply, to our longed-for meeting? Thou canst illumine even our darkest night. When now the silence deepens for our harkening, grant we may hear the children's voices raise from all the unseen world around us darkening their universal paean, in thy praise. While all the powers of good aid and attend us, boldly we'll face the future, come what may. At even and at morn God will befriend us, and oh, most surely on each newborn day! TheLord Is My Shepherd-Psalm 23 23TheLordis myshepherd; I shall notwant. 2He makes me lie down in greenpastures. He leads me beside still waters. 3Herestores my soul. Heleads me inpaths of righteousness for hisname's sake. 4Even though Iwalk through the valley ofthe shadow of death, I willfear no evil, foryou are with me; yourrod and your staff, they comfort me. 5Youprepare a table before me inthe presence of my enemies; youanoint my head with oil; mycup overflows. 6Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shalldwell in the house of theLord forever.

John 1:14 14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. Isaiah 61: 1-3 (also Luke Chapter 4) Do Not Be Anxious-Matthew 6:25 “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?] And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, (even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble." John 3:16 Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit-John 14:25-31 The Lord's Prayer Psalm 139 OLord, you havesearched me and known me!Youknow when I sit down and when I rise up;youdiscern my thoughts from afar.You search out my path and my lying downand are acquainted with all my ways.Even before a word is on my tongue,behold, OLord,you know it altogether.Youhem me in, behind and before,andlay your hand upon me.Such knowledge istoo wonderful for me;it is high; I cannot attain it. Where shall I go from your Spirit?Or whereshall I flee from your presence? If I ascend to heaven, you are there!If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there!If I take the wings of the morningand dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,even there your hand shalllead me,and your right hand shall hold me. If I say,“Surely the darkness shall cover me,and the light about me be night,”even the darkness is not dark to you;the night is bright as the day,for darkness is as light with you. Deuteronomy 6: 4-6 John 1:17 The law given through Moses-The 10 Commandments Matthew 22:36-40: Greatest Commandment Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law? And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.” John 13:34 A newcommandmentI give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. Matthew 5:43-48 Love Your Enemies Love Yourself: A relationship with the Heavenly Father based on Biblical Truth: Emotional-He is our counselor-he bears our griefs Physical--He provides for our physical needs-food, clothing, shelter Relational--He restores or renews broken relationship.

Podcast date is December 21, 2020 Nursing Facility Outreach--Compassionate Care Visitation Luke 2:12 Lord's Prayer James 1:27. Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. Psalm 71-Forsake Me Not When My Strength Is Spent 1 In you, O Lord, do I take refuge; let me never be put to shame! 2 In your righteousness deliver me and rescue me; incline your ear to me, and save me! 3 Be to me a rock of refuge, to which I may continually come; you have given the command to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress. 4 Rescue me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of the unjust and cruel man. 5 For you, O Lord, are my hope, my trust, O Lord, from my youth. 6 Upon you I have leaned from before my birth; you are he who took me from my mother's womb. My praise is continually of you. 7 I have been as a portent to many, but you are my strong refuge. 8 My mouth is filled with your praise, and with your glory all the day. 9 Do not cast me off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength is spent. 10 For my enemies speak concerning me; those who watch for my life consult together 11 and say, “God has forsaken him; pursue and seize him, for there is none to deliver him.” 12 O God, be not far from me; O my God, make haste to help me! 13 May my accusers be put to shame and consumed; with scorn and disgrace may they be covered who seek my hurt. 14 But I will hope continually and will praise you yet more and more. 15 My mouth will tell of your righteous acts, of your deeds of salvation all the day, for their number is past my knowledge. 16 With the mighty deeds of the Lord God I will come; I will remind them of your righteousness, yours alone. 17 O God, from my youth you have taught me, and I still proclaim your wondrous deeds. 18 So even to old age and gray hairs, O God, do not forsake me, until I proclaim your might to another generation, your power to all those to come. 19 Your righteousness, O God, reaches the high heavens. You who have done great things, O God, who is like you? 20 You who have made me see many troubles and calamities will revive me again; from the depths of the earth you will bring me up again. 21 You will increase my greatness and comfort me again. 22 I will also praise you with the harp for your faithfulness, O my God; I will sing praises to you with the lyre, O Holy One of Israel. 23 My lips will shout for joy, when I sing praises to you; my soul also, which you have redeemed. 24 And my tongue will talk of your righteous help all the day long, for they have been put to shame and disappointed who sought to do me hurt. Approximately 1.5 million American citizens call nursing facilities and assisted living communities their home. When a facility is in lockdown, this means no family visitation, no support from outside vendors such as hospice agencies and volunteer support. Community ministers who normally provide spiritual care to residents are also barred from entering the facility. Center for Disease Control states loneliness causes premature death according to the article by Liz Seegert titled The Huge Emotional Toll COVID-19 Is Taking on Nursing Home Residents. Residents report COVID lockdown makes them feel like they are in prison. The secret US prisons you've never heard of before: CMU conditions: no physical contact with family members and visitors. Visitor must meet prisoner behind glass barrier Lockdown in solitary 22 hours a day . phone calls: 45 minutes per month, compared to the 300 minutes in other prisons. letters: letters can be limited to six pieces of paper visits from family. CMUs restricted to 4 hours per month. During visits, CMU visitors are barred from physical contact with prisoners. Nursing Facility Resident conditions under COVID lockdown: No physical contact with family members and or visitors (unless residents meet compassionate care guidelines). Visitors can (with staff arrangement) meet with nursing facility either outside the facility or at a window (behind a glass barrier) where no physical contact occurs. Isolated in their rooms during the day. All meals are eaten in their rooms. Therefore the ability to share meals with others is taken away from them. Group activities are cancelled. Group worship services and group religious activity are cancelled. Resident are dependent upon staff to come to them for any kind of social interaction. Residents are dependent upon family members or friends contacting them through correspondence, mailed packages and if allowed visits at the window to say 'hello'. How is this happening and can we address this problem? Human rights abuses are occurring to a disenfranchised population throughout the United States. Learn about our rights as American citizens, patients rights in long term care facilities, and what other options are available to long term care residents. Create an effective strategy to alleviate the problem. Inform and educate family members and friends of nursing facility residents of their right to visit under Compassionate Care guidelines: Nursing Home Visitation and Compassionate Care. If the facility does not allow Compassionate Care visits as indicated, stand up for the rights of the nursing facility residents. Don't assume that the nursing facility is going to properly adhere to the Compassionate Care guidelines. Communicate with facility staff and ask questions. Encourage individuals, families, church communities, civic groups, home school groups to adopt a local nursing facility and or a nursing facility resident. Train and equip individuals to become Chaplains to offer Compassionate Care: provide spiritual care to nursing facility staff, assess the need of the nursing facility residents. Facilitate connection of nursing facility residents to their own church/faith community. Provide worship services in the facility and or virtually. Provide one on one Compassionate Care to residents giving special attention to residents with no family and or community support. Identify isolated home bound senior citizens who are in need of basic items such as food, clothing and a church community. Provide visitation and support to these home bound seniors in need. Invite these isolated senior citizens to become a part of the church community. Guidance on Nursing Facility Visitation-CMS 9/20 It is my prayer that teams of people can be united in purpose to provide care to nursing facility residents. Oaks of Righteousness ministries is currently creating an outreach program that will have 5 different aspects: Baskets of Love: Individuals create baskets of items and distribute them to nursing facility residents. These baskets of love will provide a sense of hope and encouragement. Baskets of Love is inspired by Samaritan’s Purse Operation Christmas Child’s Shoebox Distribution program. Nursing Facility Friendship Program: Provide one on one support in the form of friendship to long term care residents. Contact a nursing facility in your area to apply as a volunteer. Once approved by the nursing facility you can connect to a nursing home resident via phone, Zoom call, sending gifts, etc. Outreach Ministry: Trains volunteers to minister to nursing facility residents, senior living facilities and home bound senior citizens. Volunteers are trained to provide chaplaincy services. Nursing facility chaplains will worship services, spiritual care and the coordination of ministry with local ministers. Assist nursing facility residents by connecting with online ministry, podcasts, TV ministry, YouTube channels, and local church outreach programs. Identify home bound senior citizens who are isolated and needing a church community. Fellowship opportunities via Zoom: It is my prayer that we can come together as an online community to collaborate, network, share and support one another during this time. Zoom meetings train, equip, and inform each other how to effectively meet the unmet needs of nursing facility residents. Holiday Programs: Offer love and support to nursing home residents during the Holidays. Mail letters of encouragement, Birthday, Holiday, and Christmas cards. Assist a nursing home resident in connecting with a faith community of their choice. Compassionate Care Visitation: Nursing facilities are to allow visitors to see residents who are actively dying. Nursing facilities must allow nursing facility residents to have visitors due to the following reasons: Recent admission to a nursing home. Lack of family contact, change in family contact or no family contact. Facility should allow family to visit when resident when a family member or friend passes away. Caregiver Support: Be a resource to caregivers. Provide emotional and spiritual support to family members and nursing facility staff.

This is my first podcast. Podcast date is October 23, 2020. This Podcast shines the light of hope in the darkness. “For there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, nor hidden that will not be known.” (Luke 2:12 NKJV) Uncovering the truth can be a difficult and painful process.

Together, we can stand tall as Oaks of Righteousness.
