Freedom?

Freedom, what does that mean?  Our country is not free.  We are in bondage to our debt.  Debt is a prison of obligation.  Many Americans understand what our leadership does not.  When your credit card is maxed out and there is more outgo than income you are handcuffed to your debtor.  The proclamation of freedom alone is not freedom.  I once watched a video of a lion which was being released back into the wild.  The cage was opended and you would expect the lion to run to his new freedom, but to our suprise he hung around the cage.  He had become used to his bondage.  Evil is that way you know, it holds us captive until we think our captivity is normal.  We are not free as long as we stay with the cage.  The enemy is a specialist in cage building and he always tries to make it look like home.  Living in a cage is not freedom, no matter how good it looks.  There are emotional, spiritual and fininancial cages and all of them keep us from the joy of real freedom.  jfs
Joh 8:36 "Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed."

  1. Lord, help me to claim freedom from sin. You paid the debt to redeem me.
