Celebrate Freedom
Today we celebrate freedom!
We live in a country unlike any other in the course of history… hard for us to fully comprehend this reality but we should at least be incredibly grateful and thankful for those whose shoulders we are now standing on.
Will we be the generation that folds under the pressure of current culture… will generations to come look back and identify “our time” as the tipping point where everything changed?
Our lives count, our decisions matter, what we do and or don’t do can still change things.
As we have been talking about the core values in our Simply Irresistible series I am motivated by what could be and should be in our community not by all that we can and should do… but what each of us should BE.
We should BE a community of faith that is defined by our character, heart, integrity… these issue’s are fundamental to us being reflections of the ONE who lives… inhabits our lives our souls.
It is out of our “be-ing” that we do.
We have to mature to a point where we understand that we have to take responsibility for our lives… physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually… that is a GRANDE order… apart from surrendering our lives to be led and guided by our heavenly Father and Creator we will fall short…
But with Him we can.
My pastor has said this often and it is so true… the Church is a spiritual organism and must be led by spiritual people.
Why does it matter?
Because FREEDOM is at stake!
Not just political freedom, not just physical freedom but spiritual freedom!
We are born into bondage… this culture and the ruler of it wants every person no matter where we live to believe that we are free but freedom can’t be found our gained in a culture of lies… only when we step into the truth, the TRUTH of Jesus Christ will we find and obtain true freedom.
It is for freedom that He came, He died, He rose and now no matter what Gov’t may say or do… every man, woman and child can experience freedom… true freedom
that is why we the CHURCH must BE and DO what He has created us to BE and Do so the world will know, and see and experience the Kingdom of God… NOW!
Happy Fourth of July… let’s celebrate our Freedom!
