After a week off, here is one that's really faith bound!

Jeremiah 17:7-8

7 “ Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD,

And whose hope is the LORD.

8 For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters,

Which spreads out its roots by the river,

And will not fear when heat comes;

But its leaf will be green,

And will not be anxious in the year of drought,

Nor will cease from yielding fruit.(!)

This week, here is another question and answer. With Independence Day a few days away, let us not forget the independence that God has given us as a believer.

Romans 8:1-2 states,

"1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death."

With this in mind, from what had God made you free?

Feel free to post your answer.

This week instead of a scripture, I am posting a question. Feel free to post an answer or comment, but please let them be serious postings.

Hebrews 4:16
