The Battle for Freedom...

Our team had the privilege to get a tour of the Gettysburg Battlefield. What a sobering experience...to stand where thousands had gone to war and many sacrificed their lives for freedom. A lot of blood was shed on those acres for the sake of justice.
I pondered and thought about the cross. The cross where Jesus so freely went on our behalf. Did we deserve it? Not in the least! But He went through the excruciating pain for you....for me. Why? He wanted to separate that endless gap between Him and us because of sin. "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." -rom. 5:8 There was nothing good in and of ourselves that deserved His sacrificial love for us. He came to set us free in order that we don't have to spend eternity apart from Him, but He also died so that we would have freedom in our lives even now! He set us free from having to sin...amen! He broke the chains that were tied to us, but how many times do we tend to go back to those chains? those things that tied us down and devastated us. Christ desires that we would go back to the cross. Ponder what He did for you and what it meant for you today.
It has been a blessing as we go and minister to these hurting people. People that are still tied to their bondage. What a liberating truth for them to know that they are FREE!
Please pray with and for us as we finish up ministering here in Gettysburg, PA. The Lord has been doing a great work in this church. The main thing I see is that He is working mightily in marriages. Marriages that are on the brinks of ending up in divorce. Witnessing men and women broken before the Lord and before each other and coming together again! I am learning so much sitting through the sessions and I am not even married! God's truth is true, no matter the audience!
