“F-R-E-E-D-O-M ! ! !”,
was William Wallace's final word in the movie, Braveheart. Nothing is dearer to many souls than the right to be free. Right now, in many countries of the world, people are rising up and demanding freedom from oppressive regimes.
Every believer has been granted two primary freedoms: freedom from sin and freedom to love (Gal 6:22; 5:13). These are both part of the mystery of God's ways; the natural man thinks of “doing whatever I want” and “treating others however I feel like treating them” as freedom. In His Kingdom, doing what we ought to do for both God and man brings true freedom.
I heard a minister on the radio say, “self deception is the easiest thing to fall into..., and the hardest thing to recognize....”. A well-known believer with a world-wide ministry is said to have found his true calling in his 80's (in ministering to children in Africa...).
After ministering with native ministers in Southern Africa, leading home groups, serving on a church-planting team in Central Asia, and working in the medical field (to name a few), I, too, am finally coming into my calling—to “Lead Groups of Children to Spread Revival”.
