TRASH IN A GIFT BOX

We have a tendency to mistake freedom as free will and use it interchangeably. These are 2 different things. Free will is our ability to do anything that we please and it is unlimited while freedom is limited. When we exercise our free will we have to keep in mind that our freedom could be jeopardized by it. We are free to do anything we want but we are not free of the consequences. When we give in to sin then we become a slave of it. We have to stand firm and not be lured or deceived by the false propaganda it is constantly waging on us. Let us not settle for not even less but in reality is just trash wrapped in an attractive gift box. Let us not throw away or exchange it with the most wonderful gift that has been given to us and God alone can give. Amen. Hallelujah!


Galatians 4:22-24, 26-27, 31-5:1
...For freedom Christ set us free; so stand firm and do not submit again to the yoke of slavery.


God gave His only son as ransom for our sins to save us. Is there anything else He could have done that He has not done for our sake and best interest? God alone is worthy of our praise and worship. Amen. Hallelujah!


Psalm 113:1b-2, 3-4, 5a, 6-7
R: Blessed be the name of the Lord for ever.

...From the rising to the setting of the sun is the name of the LORD to be praised. 4 High above all nations is the LORD; above the heavens is his glory. (R) 5 Who is like the LORD, our God, 6 who looks upon the heavens and the earth below?...


Sometimes we rely on our feelings, intuition, prevailing situation, by trend and popular choice. Sometimes too there is nothing wrong with it because these are all part of our human nature. God in His Infinite goodness and intelligence wanted to communicate His love and mercy to us but we are limited in our capacities to understand everything that there are times when these creative means as in signs help us when we make decisions. God never stopped showing us in a variety of means His great love and mercy for us throughout the generations. It is very sad that in spite of it all we sometimes just don't get it. How many more signs are we waiting for to come to us before we do what we have to do? In the fullness of time God has already sent the most perfect sign of all. Let us no longer be like this evil generation who continue to be blind of it. Let us not look any further. Jesus is the sign. Amen. Hallelujah!


Luke 11:29-32
...“This generation is an evil generation; it seeks a sign, but no sign will be given it,
