If I don’t passionately desire freedom for all of my fellowmen, it’s likely that I haven’t been sufficiently freed from my selfishness so that I might see their captivity.

Liberty isn’t free, despite the fact that we ‘freely’ disregard that fact.

To embrace an attitude of humility is to free myself from myself. And that is likely the great liberation of all.

Sometimes the very things that we’re expending our lives to sustain are the very things that are killing our ability to live. And against our blind and frequently raging protests, these are the very things that God let’s die so that we can live.

To keep my life free of evil I must of necessity keep my life full of God, for keeping my life full of anything else will give evil everything else.

God would have us cherish even the smallest of blessings, for in taking a blessing for granted we are well on our way to taking it to its grave.

The most elusive and ultimately impossible act of liberation is freedom from sin and self, and no document or declaration of man regardless of how exquisitely penned can do that. Such an astonishing act of liberation could only have been penned in one place: the cross.

If an attitude of thankfulness did not free us from that which binds us, either we have not yet cultivated a genuine sense of thankfulness, or we’ve determined that being bound is to be preferred over being free. And if you think about it, these are one in the same and we caused both.

That which I cannot hold is that which I can treasure the most because it affords me no burden other than to enjoy it.
