Just me trying to be honest with God.

“None are so hopelessly enslaved as those who falsely believe they are free.” Goethe

For freedom Christ has set us free… Gal5.1 ESV

Last night we had a dinner discussion about the nature of freedom. We mentioned the Bill of Rights, minority groups demanding civil liberties and the role of government in light of it all. Someone offered the insightful summary; “Freedom is not the right to do as you want, but the power to do as you should.” Doing what we want inevitably leads to slavery. Christ enables us to do the Father’s will by coming to live in us. It is in surrender to His will that our will is ultimately set free.
