Does
your faith set you free ... or bind you up?
By JOHN HATCHER
Religion Columnist
Jesus would say,
"If the son of man sets you free, you shall be free indeed."
Jesus, more than any religious figure of his day, before, and since,
encouraged his followers to embrace freedom as a joy of the faith. He
wanted his followers to make decisions on their own, informed by God's
will, but not bullied into God's will. There's a difference.
