* It's good to suffer loss, for it draws me to the Cross where God's loss is more than what anyone ever lost. * We cannot hear what the stories of the Bible are saying until we hear them as stories about ourselves. * Let go of control. * Trust God. Thank God. Think about God. Talk to God. Talk about God.

Freedom

Freedom is the unique distinctive of Christianity. If one is not free or does not proclaim and exemplify freedom through Christ, then they are either not a Christian, or they very badly misunderstand and miscommunicate Christianity. I shared this as a sermon in the Philippines based on these verses.
  • "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" (Gal 5:1).
  • "Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom" (2 Cor 3:17).
  • And the Lord God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden” (Gen 2:16).
  • Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free” (Jn 8:31-32).
