FREE? No. EQUAL? Yes.
We are all equal. But, it’s not until we turn to Christ will we become truly free. People can rally and protest, shout slogans and raise fists all they want but nothing will change that truth.

The flat-out truth is, the best any human can do is speculate on another person’s motives. Heck, we can’t even decipher our own motives much of the time!
Claws slashed across our hearts, razor-like teeth dug deeply into flesh, tearing bone from sinew, hot, putrid breath spread through every wound, leaving us damaged, bleeding and diseased. This is just one instance of the carnage that occurs when Christians “let down”.
What is it about us that we can’t remember to serve God with our entire being? After all, our very existence and future depends on it! We’re like the guy who’s been diagnosed with emphysema and is told—in no uncertain terms—never to smoke again, and as soon as he steps out of the doctors office he lights up!
Why can’t we remember God’s commandments for living God-honoring lives?
One of the features that makes the LORD’s Prayer so revered is that it is completely aligned with God’s Will and His Word. That is how we should pray!
