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….

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.

Abortion or Adoption: 2 Moms’ Mission to Help Heal Pregnant Teens and Women (Video): Epoch Times
Two women who became pregnant at 16 chose radically different paths: one had an abortion and one chose open adoption. Years later, their experiences aligned in a shared mission: to use their stories to enable other women to navigate their own unplanned pregnancies, and ultimately, choose life. …Speaking to The Epoch Times, Tori Shaw and Leah Outten shared how their life paths led them to find healing in faith, transforming them out of the cocoon of shame and the trauma of broken families. Tori and Leah—both devout Christians, A students, and children of divorce—grew up just 30 miles apart in North Carolina. Recently, the brave moms, who run their two separate nonprofits to help expectant parents, came together to share their heart-wrenching backstories in a short film, Two Paths.
Final Justice: The Return of Christ, Part 1, Dr. John MacArthur
Dr. MacArthur began a series on the return of Christ and the real justice that will then be experience by dwellers on the earth. Those not in Christ, will not want to experience that justice. He discussed numerous chapters of Revelation, in part, during the course of this 28 minute sermon. If you are not very familiar with Revelation, then this sermon will give you an overview of sorts. Furthermore, he wants to refocus Christians who are wasting their energy thinking about fixing this planet and establishing man’s justice; because all of that will be undone when Christ returns. For those who do not have 28 minutes to spend, sermon highlight points precede the sermon.
God And Nakedness; The Intimate Marriage With R. C. Sproul
“In the book of Genesis, the book of beginnings, we see the first game of hide and seek. Adam and Eve hid from God in the Garden because they realized they were naked, and because of that knowledge they were ashamed. In this case, their nakedness was more than skin-deep. However, God has since remedied the problem. Dr. Sproul thinks of this account as he discusses the institution of marriage as a safe-haven where shame need not exist.”
Americans Remain Patriotic: Newt Gingrich Commentary: Epoch Times
After all the ranting about systemic racism, critical race theory, and other efforts to get people to think in terms of tribal divisiveness, the American ideal remains unifying and oriented toward individuals rather than groups. In fact, by 91 percent to 5 percent, Americans agree with the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. that the content of a person’s character is more important than the color of his or her skin.
