Here it is. The most important revolutionary sense sentence in the whole Bible. Real freedom is not the ability to do whatever you want. Real freedom is the ability to love without fear. The world thinks freedom is autonomy. No rules. I do what I want. Everybody want to talks, wants to talk about rights, but nobody seems to want to talk about responsibility. No rules. I do what I want. Nobody tell me what to do. Come on. [00:30:52] (45 seconds)  #FreedomIsLove Download clip

But come on. If we're really demonstrating our religion, true religion, then we're gonna have to go a little deeper. Can I get a witness? Real freedom is serving people who have hurt us, building bridges where walls have been standing for generations. That's not weakness. That's the strongest thing that you can do. Because love, real love, is the only thing that ever changed anything that mattered. Not force, not legislation, not revolution, not separation, not confederation, but love.

Freedom political freedom always creates winners and losers. Someone gets power. Someone loses it. Someone's treaty gets honored. Someone gets ignored. But the freedom of Christ, when you're free, I'm not less free. When you're blessed, I'm not less blessed. When you're loved, I'm not less loved. Because love doesn't run out, it multiplies. That's what Jerusalem, which is above, understands. That's what our free mother teaches us. [00:33:18] (40 seconds)  #AbundantLoveFreedom Download clip

What if that's our calling right now? Come on. In a province where everybody's angry at someone. I wish I could say it's just a province. Feels It like the whole country, the whole the whole North America, the whole world is angry now. What if we are supposed to be different? Not provoking anger. That's the easy road. It's easy to go down there. Not provoking fear. There's enough of that. Not provoking resentment. [00:34:49] (48 seconds)  #ChoosePeaceNotAnger Download clip
