The Daily Memo | January 2, 2023 | Freedom Is What You’re Made For
Freedom is good; freedom is what you are made for. It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. Galatians 5:1 We have been given the greatest freedom of all: freedom of heart, freedom from sin, a freedom […]
