Psalm 119:45 I Will Walk At Liberty, For I Seek Thy Precepts: Vignette On Liberty, Part 3

The following picture of ‘liberty’ painted by the author has to do with the intentions of the heart, or the will. Add this to the other parts already posted and you will have a more complete biblical understanding of this important concept of ‘liberty.’ As you go through your days, observe yourself to see how you have come to define ‘liberty.’ Your own definition will be apparent in your conduct; that is, for example, if you find yourself in opposition to God, then you have undoubtedly clung to a secular definition of this important term. If you desire to progress in sanctification, then that will need to change, the author provides some important information to facilitate submission and obedience, the path of change.

Psalm 119:45 I Will Walk At Liberty, For I Seek Thy Precepts: Liberty Further Clarified; Part 2

Liberty is not so much a producing force as a product of other forces. It is not so much a power as it is open space within which other powers work…. There is liberty from the world. Sometimes men are in bondage to the world in this sense, that the mainspring of their life is to stand well with it, to do what their set, their society, the world round about them, wishes them to do…. There is liberty from bad ways — love of the world, drunkenness, gambling, etc. We learn to walk circumspectly; we learn to keep the heart with all diligence…. There is liberty from bad memories…. There is liberty from fear and terror….

Psalm 119:45 And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts [KJV]

As I was reading Psalm 119 this morning, I was moved to read commentaries on verse 45 to get a sense of what the psalmist meant by ‘liberty.’ I thought the information was extremely useful in terms of how the commentators explained the vast difference of being under sin and under righteousness (by grace); that is, liberty from the different perspectives of the worldling and the Christian.  I am finding that the transition between the old lifestyle and the Christian lifestyle is a huge one that takes a lot of rethinking; one aspect of that rethinking is that our word meanings must be in line with God’s words in the Bible. This post, therefore, provides a biblical definition of ‘liberty’ and much more.

When Nations Sport With Death – Geoffrey Botkin

This post emphasizes the differences between two rugby teams: one who follows Christ openly; one who bows down to political correctness: The vlogger’s description follows: Fiji won Olympic Gold in rugby against who? Another nation which emerged out of cannibalism in the 18th century into Christianity, but which is now trading-in reverence for Christ for irreverence, and going backward to dark superstitions and primitive emotions. This is not why New Zealand lost a rugby match, but it will be how they could lose their national civilization. [The 7 minute video of this post is about how Marxists deceived New Zealanders in the 20th century; it applies to the US presently]

Why Laura Morris Quit Teaching School – Geoffrey Botkin

On the day she quit her job as a teacher, Laura Morris told the school board, “I quit your policies, I quit your training, and I quit being a cog in a machine that tells me to push highly politicized agendas to our most vulnerable constituents – children.” Take a look at all the tens of thousands of parents who are appearing at school board hearings to protest policy. Imagine what would happen if they all simply did what Laura did.

Is Orwell’s Book, 1984 Becoming A Reality?

“Almost certainly we are moving into an age of totalitarian dictatorships – an age in which freedom of thought will at first be a deadly sin and later on a meaningless abstraction. The autonomous individual is going to be stamped out of existence.” Orwell’s fictional work, 1984, reflects the political realities of many nations, past and present; these realities are increasingly more evident in our modern culture too – In the battle between totalitarianism and freedom, no one can afford to stand on the sidelines

What Happens in Afghanistan Doesn’t Stay in Afghanistan – Epoch Times Commentary

George Orwell wrote, “The quickest way of ending a war is to lose it.” The Biden administration tried that idea on for size in Afghanistan. But here’s the problem: losing a war rarely means you put the unpleasantness behind you and move on to things you’d rather deal with. Instead, lose a war and you just might end up with other and bigger problems, and maybe other wars. …We’ve seen this before. When America appears weak, confused, distracted, and at its own throat, only bad things happen. Consider some of the things that happened after South Vietnam fell to communist North Vietnamese forces in 1975—while the United States stood by with eyes primly averted while tens of thousands were executed, hundreds of thousands tossed into prison camps, and the “boat people” exodus led to immense suffering and dying. [For a history lesson on US failures in foreign policy and the terrible world-wide impact, read this article. It will also help you understand what is presently in play.]
