…A heart and mind searching for truth in a lying, fallen world.
We had a whole generation raised on Kool Aid? Or maybe it was the natural evolution of set of offspring who revelled in “Sex, Drugs, and Rock-in-Roll”.
I read this rimshot yesterday and came back to it again today. How did our ‘great experiment’ in civilization degrade from ‘freedom with responsibility’ to ‘I can do whatever the *bleep* I want’?
Welcome to my little corner of the blogoverse. It is readers who keep me on my toes trying to write the best I can at the moment.
I agree, one thing that happens as our conversion moves us from sin to sanctification is that we go (hopefully) from a subjective to responsible person and I thank you for pointing that out.
Thanks for stopping by Beyond Words. I’m glad to find you. I will be stopping by Beyond the Rim from now on!
About your rimshot today: When the subjective person becomes subject to God in Christ (“lays down his/her life”), he or she becomes the responsible person doing what he or she must, not out of a sense duty or burden, but from thankfulness and joy. That is freedom!
