True Liberty
James 1:25
But whoever looks into the perfect law of liberty, and continues therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work…


Horace Bushnell speaks of a liberty above, and a liberty below the elbows; and Charles Kingsley says, "There are two freedoms — the false, where a man is free to do what he likes; the true, where a man is free to do what he ought."
