So, if the Son sets you free, you will be FREE INDEED. John 8: 36
Freedom: It's something we cherish and take for granted in this country. The idea of a free society is embedded into the very core of our nation. Many have died defending it and many have fought diligently to preserve it.
In the words of the late Marvin Gaye, "What's going on?" We have become a nation bound by division, chained by hatred, consumed by selfishness, and allowing any and everything to exist.
Recently, I read this interesting article by Steve May concerning the fire and passion of the Church:
Putting Out Fires
The firefighters in Hallandale, FL, returned from an emergency call one day to discover that they forgot to turn off a burner on the firehouse stove that was heating oil for fried potatoes. The result was a blaze that caused 10,000 dollars in damage,
The Chief said, "We tell people not to do that kind of stuff, but then, we all make mistakes."
Likewise, the Church must be careful not to let fires of sin, discord, and false teaching overtake it from the inside while we work to win the lost on the outside.
