How to be a Liberated Woman (Or Man)
Chapter 16 of Acts tells the story of two women.\xa0 Both were successful in a chosen field.\xa0 Both were gifted.\xa0 Both seemed to be independent of men.\xa0 But at the end of the day, only one of them was truly liberated.
We think liberation comes when we "call our own shots," when we are our own boss, when we are free to make our own choices based on our decisions of what is right and wrong. \xa0
But what we discover from this passage of Scripture is that, number one, we are all slaves to sin, and that it is only in Christ that we can be truly liberated.
