Where the spirit of the Lord is there is freedom
By Austin Bishop
23 All things are lawful for me, but not all things are helpful; all things are lawful for me, but not all things edify. 24 Let no one seek his own, but each one the other’s well-being.
— 1 Corinthians 10:23-24
17 Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
— 2 Corinthians 3:17
Freedom is an awesome responsibility, make sure to use it well.
