The Liberty Of A Slave

Beneath the flooring planks of the Savannah First African Baptist Church, a undercover passage hid slaves on their agency to northern freedom. 

When nosotros visited this church building (once business office of the Underground Railroad), I was ashamed that my race had in i lawsuit denied African-Americans basic human respect.

Incredibly, many slaves trusted Christ inwards the midst of their oppression. 

How could they create this when to a greater extent than or less of their harshest mistreatment came from slave owners calling themselves Christian?

The slave’s secret: they didn’t permit their circumstances alter their persuasion of Christ—they permit Christ alter their persuasion of their circumstances.

Proverbs 3:5 says "Trust inwards the Lord amongst all your heart; create non depend on your ain understanding."

If nosotros utilize this regulation to our lives, nosotros volition travel transformed. We volition sense the “freedom of a slave”—a liberty that defies circumstances.
