Buddy Hoffman :: Free to love? :: 07.04.10
Does Freedom matter? Is it Biblical? Freedom has been called a “dangerous idea”. What about liberty could be considered dangerous?
The words at the base of the Statue of Liberty read…
“Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me.”
What is freedom? Why should we care? Is freedom a “spiritual yearning” placed there by God or a “sinful lust” to be independent?
Is it evil to yearn for liberty? Should we care for those without liberty? Is political freedom and spiritual freedom related? Is it a universal desire, or just representative of our culture?
Sunday we are headed into 1 Corinthians 8, and we will see what God has to say about this desire to be free, and the responsibilities that go with it.
