The basic test of freedom is perhaps less in what we are free to do than in what we are free not to do. – E. Hoffer
Paul stated “in Christ he was free to do all things,” but that if “eating meat” caused offense to his brother, he would eat no meat. What a COST to pay!
When you really stop to think about it, the whole concept of freedom is wrapped up in GOD. He is free and able to do ALL THINGS, yet He restrains himself on our behalf. Our sins are punishable by death, yet God chose NOT to condemn us to hell, but save us by grace. And that my friend is a mighty awesome example of true freedom. Happy 4th of July, but better yet, Praise God for your SALVATION!
Until MONDAY……

“Though I am free and belong to no man, I make myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible.” – I Corinthians 9:19
P.S. - for those going to the Dodger game tonight remember the bus leaves the church at 6pm.
P.S.S. - Don't forget our Sunday School Devotional time this Sunday at 9am in Parmes Hall. We've got some great questions that will be addressed.
