Still Evaluating
Hey, just because I'm evaluating doesn't mean I can't throw a thought provoking quote out there for you...so here's one from Mike Yaconelli:
"Freedom in Christ. What a nice concept. Sadly, most Christians are frightened of freedom. Ever since Jesus announced, 'You will know the truth and the truth will set you free,' many in the church have tried to explain away his remark: 'What Jesus means is that we are free not to sin.' Which is true. We are free not to sin. And we are free to sin.
The radical truth of freedom in Christ is that I am free to choose good or bad, right or wrong, this way or that way. I can choose to run to Christ or run away from Christ. Freedom in Christ means I am free from everyone else's definition of freedom because I am free in Christ, when it comes to my relationship with him, he is the only one I answer to."
Why do you think Christians would be frightened of this?
