Liberty

Be Free to Follow God · Self-government, Limited Government

History is filled with slavery, suffering and death. Freedom of thought, speech and action only exist when we keep government under God.

“While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.” — 2 Peter 2:19

In practice
8 attributes

Liberty is fragile. Our only hope is self-government, and limited government built on a biblical foundation.
