Freedom is not stagnant. Freedom is like an ever-flowing stream that moves from person to person and age to age. God s truth keeps happening. Truth, however, does not only free us FROM something but also frees us TO something. When the shackles of fear, anger, and prejudice fall away, we are then free to become the human beings that the Great Creator intends for us to be.
Freedom carries with it responsibility.
Once the burden is lifted we are free to move forward in love and forgiveness. We have a responsibility to learn about the past. We owe a great dept of gratitude to those who have gone before. They are why we are here today. It is vital that we reach back to the people who risked social standing, economic stability, family safety, and even their lives to help us get to the spot where we stand today.
