Freedom is a precious thing. Throughout history, cultures have valued it and gone to war over it, while many individuals have sacrificed their lives for it. But there is a freedom that is more precious.
In today’s episode of The Whole Counsel, John Snyder discusses the meaning of the true spiritual freedom that is given to believers through Christ.
Psalm 119:44-45
So I will keep Your law continually, Forever and ever. And I will walk at liberty, For I seek Your precepts.
