“It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery.” Galatians 5:1

Are you living under the burden of being a slave to sin when you have been set free from its power to live in freedom and victory? You don’t have to live that way - you can be free!

The word “father” evokes all kinds of images. For some, like myself and GIna, it is a warm word, an encouraging word, and a comforting word. They strengthened us, comforted us, and disciplined us in the love of Christ. For others, however, the word “father” brings up terrible memories, and can negatively impact the perception of a Heavenly Father.

Psalm 103 describes our Heavenly Father’s compassion toward and leads us to understand why fatherhood is a landmark that needs to be guarded in our culture today.

Have you ever had a phone call where the sound was distorted? Maybe there was interference on the line and you could hear the person’s voice, but there was so much static that you couldn’t understand him? Or there was so much noise in the background that you couldn’t clearly hear the person trying to talk with you?

Distortion is annoying when it comes to phone calls, but dangerous when it comes to the Gospel of Christ. The Gospel is a landmark of truth that must be guarded.

When surveys are conducted on property, starting points of one person’s property line and ending points of another person’s property line are determined. Without these landmarks, chaos and confusion rule.

As the culture pushes, moves, shifts, and sometimes attempts to erase the boundary of truth, it is crucial to know the truth of God’s Word and stand firm in that immovable truth!

What happens if the boundary landmarks of a plot of farmland get removed? No one knows where his property ends and hers begins, and confusion and conflict take over.

I believe we are seeing this principle right before our very eyes in our world today. We are watching the ancient landmarks and ancient boundaries being moved. And the result is confusion and conflict.
