Who loves Freedom?
What does Freedom really mean?
Freedom is never Free!
There is always a cost to Freedom whether you paid it or not.
True Independence is found only in a lasting dependence on God!
Do you consider yourself a leader?
Do you want to be a leader?
What if I asked you to give up some of your freedoms to be a leader? Would you still lead?

“Never underestimate the far-reaching effects of godly parenting on a child. If you have children, teach them about Jesus. Read the Bible with them, and help them learn the life-giving message of Jesus’ words. Timothy’s life presents clear evidence that even if you have an unbelieving spouse, you can still pass on the truth of the gospel to your child.” – Life Application Study Bible notes on Acts 16
Being a leader sometimes requires giving up certain freedoms and going above and beyond to meet people where they are and to not be a stumbling block to others.
Sometimes we need to go above and beyond the minimum requirements to further the kingdom of God.
Just because we have the freedom to do certain things or are not required to do other things doesn’t mean it’s always the best thing.
What is permissible is not always what is the most beneficial to you or others.

“The Christian faith gives freedom—freedom from sin and guilt, and freedom to use and enjoy anything that comes from God. But Christians should not abuse this freedom and hurt themselves or others. Drinking too much leads to alcoholism; gluttony leads to obesity. Be careful that what God has allowed you to enjoy doesn’t grow into a bad habit that controls you.” – Life Application Study Bible notes on 1 Corinthians 6
The next time you are arguing about your freedoms, ask yourself if you are doing something simply because you have the freedom to do it, the Bible doesn’t prohibit it, and it is permissible, or are you trying to reach other people for Christ and you are willing to give up some freedoms in order to reach them?
Some actions are not sinful in themselves, but they are not appropriate because they can control our lives and lead us away from God. Some actions may hurt others. Anything we do that hurts rather than helps others is not good.
What is permissible isn’t always beneficial.
God is always at work and looking for people to hear from Him and follow His leading. When we respond to Him not only will our life change but so will others.

How are you using the freedom that Christ gave you to Lead others and encourage others?
Are you willing to lay down some of your rights and freedoms so that others may know Jesus and live for Him?
