Fly Away from Falsehoods

Liberty

What is liberty

 without wisdom and

 without virtue?

 

"It is the greatest of all possible evils; for it is folly, vice, and madness, without tuition or restraint.'

-Edmund Burke, cited by Jeff Myers & David A. Noebel, Understanding the Times: A Survey of Competing Worldviews, pg.366

Galatians 5:13

..."For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another."...

*

1 Peter 2:16-17

..."Act as free men, and do not use your freedom as a covering for evil, but use it as bondslaves of God.

Honor all people, love the brotherhood, fear God, honor the king."...

*

Romans 8:5-8

 ..."For those who are according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace, because the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so, and those who are in the flesh cannot please God."...

The Choices in Life

They all said it was great.

They all said you’d be cool.

Is this all that you thought it would be?

Now you see who’s a fool.

What you see is what you get!

So you better make sure that it’s heaven sent…

All the things that you see and hear…

they’ll come back to you.

So be careful what you choose.

There’s some things you’ll never lose.

…Stick it in your mind…

It’s going to stay right there in your heart.

Sooner or later it’s a matter of fact.

What you see is how you’ll act.

Even if it all fades from you.

It will come back to you.

So be careful what you choose…

‘Cause some things you’ll never lose.

You stick it in your mind…

It’s going to stay right there in your heart.

1John 2:15-17

…“Do not love the world nor 

the things in the world. 

If anyone loves the world, 

the love of the Father is not in him.

For all that is in the world, 

the lust of the flesh and 

the lust of the eyes and 

the boastful pride of life, 

is not from the Father, 

but is from the world.

The world is passing away, and also its lusts; 

but the one who does the will of God lives forever.”…

What have you been doing which has hurt the LORD? 

You may have deeply hurt others, but this also deeply hurts the LORD. 

Do what is right! Turn around, change your life, and lovingly apologize to those you have hurt and damaged.

Glorify the LORD with your repentance!
