Sharing Ideas Equals Freedom
The sharing of ideas among mankind is a part of the growing process and leads to continual development and awareness. It is not something that we need to be afraid of. We want to have ears that hear so that we might grow and so that we might recognize the enemy’s trickery. The scriptures have told us that man is not enemy. (See Ephesians … Read More Sharing Ideas Equals Freedom
Recognition of Our Vulnerability and Complete Reliance On God
Freedom requires recognition of our vulnerability and complete reliance on God. This is intrinsic in the reality of all truth for only God is truth and only in God may truth be found. In fact, complete freedom requires that one recognize that the only thing that exists is God, once we understand that we will walk with God even as Jesus did. We will … Read More Recognition of Our Vulnerability and Complete Reliance On God
Freedom To Serve, Is To Acknowledge Ourselves In Others
Freedom to be part of something bigger than ourselves, at least our immediate, physical self. That is a gift given by the creator and that we may choose to give of ourselves.

Christ is what gives me courage to go forward.
If only we could look to Christ instead of looking at one another. If our thoughts were first what would Jesus have me do we would be focused on who we are and not who others are. Christ is our answer. Christ is our hope. Christ is our joy. Exo 14:1 Mark 4:1 The Egyptians follow the Israelites to bring them back.

Knowledge of Christ Gives Me Courage to go Forward
On the blog talk radio program, Scriptures for the Latter Days http://tobtr.com/s/4505593, we talked about freedom in two different contexts. One was the Israelites as they left Egypt, in Exodus 14:11-12. The Egyptians complained to Moses that they wanted to stay in Egypt and be servants. They did not want to be free. Even after the many plagues and “passovers” that the Lord had … Read More Knowledge of Christ Gives Me Courage to go Forward
