The Moral Requirment of Freedom

Freedom is that which we must give to others. Should God give each human sovereignty, then so should we. But freedom is that which we must not allow for ourselves. For the sake of others’ freedom, let us be without rights. For the freedom of God’s love, let us be chained. For the freedom of the gospel, let us be killed.

Freedom is the best...

...and worst thing to happen to any of us. In freedom, we can serve God and live the life we ought to live. In freedom, we choose to rebel against God and pursue a life of self-destruction. This is why the best life to live is a freely-given slavery to God, to choose to give up our own life and to live the life of Jesus.

Spiritual Enslavement

“Do you know what makes people really spiritual? It is when they become enslaved to God and are branded with his sign, the sign of the cross, signifying that they have surrendered their freedom to Him. Then He can sell them as slaves to the entire world, as He himself was sold.”
-Teresa of Avila

Freedom

My right to strike my fist ends at the point another’s face begins.
