FREE!


"Believers sometimes forget that we have been set free. Freedom scares us
and more important, it scares those religious leaders who are into
control. Jesus said, 'Therefore if the Son sets you free, you shall be
free indeed.' We want to change that, to create some parameters and to
ameliorate the dangers of the freedom Jesus gives. When we do that, we
miss the joys of being free from the bondage of our slavery to rules and
manipulation...Being free enables us to go to God without the need to act like a
proper slave...Being free means that , in prayer, we don't have to work for
'slave's wages'...Being free means that we don't have to worry about every word
and every thought that is uttered in the presence of God...God says...'You
aren't a slave, Quit acting like one".
