America’s first generation citizens fought some very costly battles and a war in order for you and me to be truly free. And in less than 250 years, the rest of us have managed to destroy most of that freedom.
And citizens, these days, don’t even want to be truly free.
They prefer the socialism we now live in (or some might say in which we live). And the irony is, they prefer that even as they make claims such as, “America will never be a socialist country.”
America has been a socialist country for more decades than I’ve even been alive.
Because way back in the early part of the 20th century politicians discovered subtle ways (which aren’t even subtle anymore) to take money from those who work and give it to those who don’t.
Of course that goes against Jesus. And the world, for the most part, hates Jesus and anyone who loves him. So, putting policies, rules, and laws in place that contradict God’s teachings is just gravy on the taters to them.
And now most of the people in America are comfortable with socialism. So, my guess is you and I will never again be truly free in this world. Thank goodness, thank God we can look forward, with joyful hope, to that kind of…
Freedom
Faith working through love…
Let’s praise God for our liberty…
Christ paid off our debt…
Only in Him are we truly free.
Love leads into joy…
Law leads back into slavery…
God gave us The Way.
Just believe, and we’re truly free.
Freedom from the law that kills,
Freedom with our own free wills,
Freedom from the world of sin…
Just let Jesus in, let the joy begin
Share a hopeful grin, with the Lord “We Win”!
Praise God for what we can become
With our freedom.
What law couldn’t do
Jesus did with finality.
He rose up from the dead
And promised the same life for you and me.
So we have…
