Freedom!

Today we can celebrate two kinds of freedom.

First, the political freedom we have because of the sacrifices of men who gave their time, efforts and sometimes lives for the sake of human freedom. Men who, whether they believed in God or not, were used by him to make our lives better.

And second, though even more important, the freedom we have from the penalty we each deserve for our individual selfishness. The freedom we can have from our selfish tendencies and habits. The freedom available and given freely to anyone who decides to place their trust in Jesus.

I hope you'll take a moment with me today and thank God for both of these freedoms.

Galatians 5:1 It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. (NIV)

Ephesians 3:12 In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence.
(NIV)

Galatians 5:13 You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love.
(NIV)

Have a great day and come back on Wednesday for "In Search Of Truth"!
