Wow...has it really been that long?

I may be the only person to continue reading this, but writing these posts actually helps me stay up on the reading...so, paint this a selfish exercise.

Galatians 5

"For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'" Galatians 5:13-14

Here we have one of many declarations of true freedom. True freedom is not the ability to gratify ourselves. When Jesus flips our economics upside down, we find freedom in service. What? I had to read that again...use your freedom - serve one another. We are no longer desperate people trying to draw life from the dying world...we are able to draw life from eternal things so that we are a source of light to the world.
