The world offers finance, status and fame as pathways to independence and “freedom”. By grace, God offers eternal life and true freedom through faith in Jesus Christ alone expressed through His Body – the Church. These are the stuck choices we all face, the inner tension as it were. The cardinal rule of God’s Righteous Law says: “No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.” Matthew 6:24 KJV
