Freedom takes a holiday

There was a time not so very long ago, when people in general knew that there was a right and a wrong. They actually knew what right and wrong were called. Their names were sin and virtue.

Freedom is the right to live peacefully within the law. Freedom encompasses the law of God, as in the Ten Commandments, and man made laws. In the last century, the laws of men departed from the law of God. Men rose up against their Creator and began to make laws to suit their own perversions. Freedom has taken a holiday as a result.

Men who govern and rule, who do not believe deep in their hearts that they will answer to God for how they govern, will always govern to their best financial advantage and to their quest for power. The result is that those whom they govern lose their freedom.

A woman recently stated for the camera that freedom means one can say what they want, when they want. I beg to differ. Those of us who still recognize right and wrong are not at liberty to say so. We are slowly losing our freedom. Inch by inch, our freedom is being taken from us. It has become a crime to speak out against sin (wrong actions) in many places. We are now, more and more, being taken before the courts for insisting that there is indeed a right and a wrong. We no longer have the freedom to speak truth. It is becoming dangerous to speak truth, most especially God's Truth, all over the world.

Reasonable men know that truth does not change. Murder has been wrong from the beginning. Murdering unborn children is evil. It is a sin. Homosexuality is a perversion of the gift that God gave us to cooperate with Him in populating Heaven. It is a sin. Lying, cheating, stealing, are all sins. They are wrong. We knew that once upon a time. The laws of men once mirrored the Law of God, but that is no longer so.

As long as men take license with the law and pervert it to their own ends, freedom is no more and license has taken freedom from us. We are now subject to evil laws made by men who's hearts are perverted to evil things.

I say that freedom has taken a holiday, because it will return. Rational men know that God is in charge and that He, in the end will have the last word. Freedom is His and when men once again turn to Him, it is He who will restore freedom.
