FROM THE PASTOR'S DESK
LIBERTY
In II Cor. 3:6-17 it shows us that we are to be ministers of six things of:
vs. 6 the New Testament
vs. 7 of Life
vs. 8 of the Spirit
vs. 9 of Righteousness
vs. 10 of Glory
vs. 17 of Liberty
vs. 17 …Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is Liberty.
Whether an individual or a nation; it is impossible to have real liberty without the Lord. It is impossible to have freedom. It is impossible to have independence. It is impossible to have autonomy. Jesus is the source and His Spirit the administrator of Liberty.
A free nation can not exist without honorable men of good moral character. For without it, people become tyrants and despots. They cannot resist the power that comes from office, for power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Jesus said it shall not be so among you. You are to be a servant.
Peter said choose ye out seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Spirit and Wisdom. And Paul tells us to stand fast in the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free and be not again entangled with the yokes of bondage.
To not have Jesus is to not have liberty and still be in bondage.
