The illusion of freedom is a storm brewing within.
Man confuses free will with the image of freedom. He sees the eagle soaring freely above the treetops and longs to do the same.
Man fails to recognize that the source of his sin and the root of evil begins and ends with the misuse of God’s gift.
Free will is a blessing for the wise man and a curse for the fool.
Our world is broken by our sin, which stems from weakness in self-governance.
We determine the depths of our pits and the degree to which we wish to wallow in our torment.
Like a feral hog immersed in the mud, wanting to escape from the heat, we seek refuge in our sin.
We allow ourselves to be restrained by our own limitations. Instead of trusting His judgment.
Blindly, we dance in our vanity to a subterranean beat. Always rotating inward like a twister roaring across the prairie on a hot summer afternoon.
Choose to swim in God’s giving waters rather than treading in brokenness.
Our Lord is always faithful to us. His enduring love extends beyond the heavens.
Soften your heart and choose wisely, as your salvation is within the palm of the Lord’s hand.
Look upwards to the light of the heavens. Repent, seek Almighty God’s salvation and restore your soul.
Fear not the justice of God, for it is merciful and full of grace, wisdom and love.
The greatest prison has never been built with granite walls, but with the hardness of the heart.
The greatest freedom has never been found on the path of desire, but in choosing the One who created us.
Free will presents many paths, but only one leads to everlasting life. Our Lord has blessed us with the strength to choose.
The question that remains is whether we will walk the path to His salvation.
