Strength

     In our cultural stupor we have been led to believe that strength, real strength is something that it’s not. We; like lemmings march off that proverbial cliff carrying our families and nation on our backs. We somehow believe right and wrong is in our hands to define and embrace at will; concluding that no one shall rule over us except we ourselves, we establish our own authority, our own life and way. The reality of course is not what it seems; instead we have been slaves to self and sin, chained to our immature emotionalism defiling ourselves and nation. Real strength is only found in humility which is virtue; it lives in submission empowered by maturity. Its fruit is self-control which is the only foundation of Liberty- this is the very real work of Jesus the Christ in the lives of men. It is living and dynamic. He alone defines truth and morality. Christ is the bedrock on which Liberty grows and flourishes. On one hand you are enslaved and controlled by sin, the lust of your flesh and the chains of self-deception. On the other you are unstoppable, giving no thought to yourself you submit yourself to God and His authority, standing on truth you are immovable, living for him invincible.
