‘At the heart of the turmoil in our country today is a struggle to grasp again what freedom really means…’ –Star Parker
We thank Star Parker for getting to the heart of the matter. The religion she references is Biblical Christianity because the Bible alone reveals the eternal truth of Christ and His doctrine.
“If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
But the heart of unbelief denies that it is in bondage to anything and hates the doctrine that salvation is in Christ alone.
And the word of truth continues, “Whoever commits sin is a slave of sin…if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed” [John 8].
Freedom that begins to make men free is in the person of Jesus Christ. The man that does not feel his bondage will not see the deliverer as glorious nor freedom as most precious.
But it is written that ‘the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it’ [Isaiah 40:5].
The secularists in their idolatry of man and their vain philosophies regarding his evolution think they can discern prehistoric histories while they are unable to discern the history of the American founding of less than 300 years ago. What they call tolerance is prideful and unrestrained lawlessness and they confuse freedom with a willing bondage to sin. They have forsaken the way of righteousness to walk in the counsel of the wicked and to stand in the path of sinners and sit in the seat of the scoffer.
Let us return to the old paths that find their delight in the law of the Lord. It is called the law of liberty by those set free from their heart captivity to sin. This is the beginning of freedom.
