“Being Christian is not just obeying orders but means being in Christ, thinking like him, acting like him, loving like him; it means letting him take possession of our life and change it, transform it, and free it from the darkness of evil and sin. ...

“You and I know and do not believe that life is so dear and peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery. If nothing in life is worth dying for, when did this begin-just in the face of this enemy? Or should Moses have told the children of Israel to live in slavery under the pharaohs? Should Christ have refused the cross? Should the patriots at Concord Bridge have thrown down their guns and refused to fire the shot heard 'round the world? The martyrs of history were not fools, and our honored dead who gave their lives to stop the advance of the Nazis didn't die in vain.” IfsKnowsWorldShouldBelieveChildrenFacesLife IsDiesChristEnemyFireHeardDyingSweetFoolGunShotsCrossesSlaveryRoundsDearIsraelChainsVainBridgesThrownPatriotNaziHonoredMartyrMosesPharaohs Author:Ronald Reagan

“Submitting self to God is the only real freedom-because the deepest slavery is self-dependence, self-reliance. When you live your life believing that everything (family, finances, relationships, career) depends primarily on you, you're enslaved to your strengths and weaknesses. You're trying to be your own savior. Freedom comes when we start trusting in God's abilities and wisdom instead of our own. Real life begins when we transfer our trust from our own efforts to the efforts of Christ.” TryingBelieveRealSelfChristAbilityEffortCareersDependsWeaknessSlaveryReal LifeFinanceSaviorTrust In GodLive Your LifeDependenceSelf RelianceRelianceTransfersStrength And WeaknessReal Freedom Author:Tullian Tchividjian
