One of the things Americans value (or at least claim to value) is freedom. We’re so glad for our freedom and the people who defend our freedom and our ability to say what we want and worship how we choose and travel from state to state without restriction, etc. But how much do people really value freedom?
How many people aren’t involved at all in the election and supervision of our political leaders? If you don’t care about politics, you don’t care about freedom because you allow those who are elected to make decisions about your life without your consent.
How many people live on welfare for months and even years sometimes? If you are happy to live as a baby sucking on the breast of government instead of working for a living, you don’t care about freedom because you are trading your own independence to live as a dependent of taxpayers.
Those who value freedom are willing to work to keep it and maintain it.
In the same way, if you want spiritual freedom, you have to live a life that values that freedom and maintains that freedom. Want to find freedom today? Turn to the leader who can set you free from your sinful past, and then stop living for self indulgence and start working to be the best you can be.
