If there is one thing that Americans love to talk about, it’s freedom. But, if there’s one thing that Americans don’t really understand biblically, it’s freedom. We typically think that true freedom is the ability to do whatever we want. I am free if I can choose this or I can choose that, but if…

Do you strive to treat everybody the same?
