This country was founded by people like Patrick Henry who proclaimed, “Give me liberty or give me death!” The prevailing attitude today seems to be, “You can have my freedom if you will keep me safe.”
The word “safe” is such the buzz word now, even incoming spam email starts, “I hope you are staying safe.” Why have we become so obsessed with safety? Where are the freedom loving risk takers? I don’t want to become so overly driven with eking out another day here that I overlook what matters for eternity.
Matthew 6: 19-21 “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
