---Jeremiah 24:7
By many in the world, Brethren, we are
considered hicks, yokels, hayseeds and rubes,
bumblers, thumpers, incompetents, and boobs.
But we are called to receive delivery,
among churches, of the common Salvation
(beyond the reach of haters' perfidy)
in which we find our souls chief exultation
with the redeemed, the great congregation
in the effulgent and eternal light
of Christ, who called Himself the Star
(in Revelation, chapter two): the bright
one (in the Koine Greek), the morning one:
the Christ, our Savior, God's Beloved Son,
in Whom we believe to life eternally.
Starward
