On our journey of faith, there are times when the “freedom” of sin that we left behind is more appealing than the restrictions of faith that lie ahead. We must trust the protective boundaries found in God’s Word as the only way to get to the place of ultimate freedom.
— Julie Ackerman Link
As my pastor would put it: the Christian faith is full of paradoxes. The first will be last, the last – first. You will your find life only when you lose it. And part of that list includes the very idea of freedom. You will know the truth and the truth will set you free. (John 8:31-32)

Throughout the course of our Christian walks, most of us (I believe) truly desire a relationship with Christ on a deeper, more intimate level. More often than not, we know what we have to do. We know we ought to pray, read and study the Bible. We should love and display compassion. We should edify, evangelize, and exhort. But in the end, it feels like we’re always one step short of experiencing something (anything) spectacular with God.
We witness and hear about ’spiritual giants’ and ‘passionate’ leaders that constantly seem to have intimate encounters and experiences with God, and we wonder. What sparks that intimacy? And truthfully, the answer lies within genuine discipleship from Jesus Christ in complete surrender and obedience. More…
