Front door notice
February 24, 2011
Today the following notice was posted outside our house near the front door, replacing an earlier shorter version.
Desiring to live peacefully and
lovingly with all people, to promote informed,
harmonious relationships with everyone, and to avoid
misunderstandings or unnecessary conflict, we are posting this
NOTICE:
This
household is in
the
kingdom of God
where
Jesus
is Lord.
While
recognizing and appreciating the legitimate role and authority which
the coercive governments of the world have in the lives of their
citizens and residents, we choose to live under the exclusive
authority and jurisdiction of the almighty Creator and his chosen
Son, Jesus the Christ, to whom he has given all power and authority
in heaven and on earth.
We are not
citizens or residents of the City of Hutchinson, Reno County, the
State of Kansas, or the United States of America. This house and
land are not Reno County real estate.
We seek to
follow our Master, who extended his loving hand to everyone, without
regard to the many external categories which throughout history have
caused divisions and hatred among people. We recognize as our
brothers and sisters whose who know the will of God and do it. We
desire to make life better for everyone, to bless them, and never to
harm them.
As servants of
our Master, we are happy to meet and respond to everyone who is
brought into our lives.
John Steward-of-Jesus Mary Steward-of-Jesus
Jesus
is King.
Here.
Now.
