KEY PRINCIPLES FROM THIS MESSAGE:
“Freedom comes through servitude.” – Pastor Barfield of High Plains Fellowship Church
We are always a slave. Freedom and slavery are not mutually exclusive terms (that’s what Satan wants you to believe).
LOVE is not a vapid emotion that “feels” its way to righteousness.
Love isn’t love if it lacks action.
True love cannot help but express itself.
A Simple Choice – blog, 6/27/25
We have a simple choice to make; choose God and live righteously or choose the flesh and sin. No excuses. No rationalizing. Just simple obedience.
Freedom comes through focusing on God and others.
God is glorified, we are blessed!
It’s simply not enough (anti-Biblical, even) to establish/maintain commitments to ourselves (as virtual islands). We are called to a community (aka “a congregation”), for the purpose of “obedience of faith” (ref: Ro 1, 16).
People like to be lied to when it allows them to maintain a type of religion that their human flesh desires.
