Break Free Together

When there are complaints on things like not having the latest brand named goods or not having access to the best things in life it seems to miss the whole point of community. When someone is complaining about the name of the shoes, where their sister in another country has no shoes, something’s wrong. When someone expects all their rights to be met, where the rights of others are neglected something’s wrong. Something within the human condition cries out for us all to break free together.

So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. (John 8:36)

Safe Journey

Break Free … From Without: Injustice

There are still vile human rights abuses taking place around our world. There are still traumatic offences committed in this country. There are still horrendous crimes carried out in our cities. There are still miscarriages of justice occurring in our towns. There are still tragic wrongs done in our homes. There are still sins committed in our own lives. Injustice is still somewhere, so the fight for justice – the fight to break free must carry on everywhere.

So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. (John 8:36)

Safe Journey

Shalom

Deliver Us

Deliver us – from the past that would enslave us; Deliver us – from future unknown that brings anxiety; Deliver us – from relationships that would crush us; Deliver us – from the pride that poisons us; Deliver us – from the fear that cripples us; Deliver us – from the world quickly fading; Deliver us – from thinking that aggravates; Deliver us – from a life of boredom, apathy and neglect; Deliver us – from masks that hide real struggles of life; Deliver us – from injustice and hatred; Deliver us – inside and out. Deliver us by Your power and love. Deliver us with Your touch from above.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. (Matthew 6:13)

Safe Journey

Shalom
