EMANCIPATED - BUT ENSLAVED

by an Old Disciple of Jesus Christ

“All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.”~ 1Cor. 6:12 

It is possible to be set free, and enter a new kind of bondage. To leave one prison, only to take up residence in another. We can become voluntary slaves to legitimate habits. Excessive indulgence in an innocent, natural appetite can enslave as well as forbidden, unnatural one.

Habits—even legitimate and good ones—can master a person. Good things can create a craving. Anything or anyone that dominates all my time, thinking, and energy (God being the exception) can bring me into spiritual slavery.

Don’t allow your liberty to take away your freedom.
