Liberty?

 Liberty is righteous. It is the freedom to control yourself. When

you live unrighteously you lose your liberty. A man consumed with

himself will be a slave to his lust and will offer no protection for his

family. (Proverbs) Without Christ we are slaves to sin but in Christ we die

to sin. Now we have the power to live a self-controlled life. Self-control is not

perfection, but it is the mark of adulthood and spiritual maturity. If the

Spirit of the Lord is in you, you will live a self-controlled life. ( were the

Spirit of the Lord is there is Liberty) It will affect everything you do

and think. The Chief job of a parent is to instill an ability to control oneself

to their children. This is done by example and training. History has

proven that the self-controlled will be free and the lascivious will be

slaves. Which would you choose for your children?

The choice stands before us. Patrick Henry once said “Give me

liberty or give me death" and publicly educated minds think he is an

anarchist. It is in liberty that we can serve our God. Joshua said "As

for me and my house we will serve the Lord" and I believe they were

saying the same thing. Say no to the bondage of selfishness and yes

to the liberty and lordship of Jesus Christ!
