“To know what you prefer instead of humbly saying Amen to what the world tells you you ought to prefer, is to have kept your soul alive.” ~ Robert Louis Stevenson (1850 - 1894)
“Serenity is not freedom from the storm, but peace amid the storm.” ~ unknown
“Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I do not know what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!” ~ Patrick Henry
Many enjoy and celebrate national freedoms while their very souls are still imprisoned. The shackles of sin deceive and blind us. We won’t know true freedom until we receive the Life of the One who came, died, and rose again. Christ came to set us free…from sin, self, and our old exhausting way of life. Knowing Him will make us free, really free.
“So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.”
~ John 8:36
“Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.” ~ 2 Corinthians 3:17
