Freedom: God-given
The caption on the recent
Remembrance Day' 'adver-
tisement, "Freedom : Man-
made, not God-given!"
cause,sone to -ponder. 1. •
My dictionary defines'
freedom as : liberty, 'not
bound, not under obligation
politically , independent,
taking undue liberties,
unrestricted use Or access. So
suppose what one gets out of
that slogan depends in what
context we use the word.
I'm surethe " Royal
Canadian Legion, sponsors of
the advertisement, is
speaking of political freedom.
It goes without Saying•khat in
many countries there is no
such freedom, and the liberty
to follow one's own conviction
is severely curtailed if not
completely non-existent.
Yet,, in these same Coun-
tries there are certain men in
power who are free; „free to
send others to jail without
trial, free to order torture and
even' death to anyone who
disagrees with them.
So, what then is freedom?
Many young people might
feel it's the'libertyof being
able to set their • own stan-
dards 'and morals with
complete disregard and
disrespect to parents.
Freedom to some marriage
' partners is to rid themselves
of responsibilkties, run .off
with someone else with
seemingly total disregard of
how shattering this is to their
spouses and children.
The alcoholic wants to be free
to spend his money on booze
instead of making sure there
is food in the house for his
family and fuel oil for the
furnace.
Robbers would like to be
free to rob and thieve at will;
some policeman,' 1 fear,
would like freedom to harrass
and use whatever brutality
necessary to extract a con-
fession from a prisoner,
guilty or otherwise.
Certain business com-
panies desire the freedom to
make unfair and unrestricted
profits. There are union
leaders who. want the
freedorn to claim demands
which could cripple the whole
country. All these --people
want freedom but note it is
freedom to gain whatever is
their desire At the expense of
someone else.
Even in war, can we
"always' be syre which side is
fighting on the side of
freedom? If you watched the
last TV program of news
columnist Michael Maclear
called 'Gooks and Grunts' you
are lilely as stunned as I was
at the unspeakable atrocities,
used on thousands arid
thousands of innocent Viet-
namese by American soldiers
under the pretense of fereting
out Vietcong. Yet, the general
public believe this war was
being fought to protect the
liberty of the Vietnam people.
One. can only shudder in
horror at the despicable acts
committed under the banner
of Freedom.
The fact of the matter is
Freedom is Ood-given. We
are always free to choose
between what" is right and
what, is wrong. And in a
strange, paradoxical way,
when we choose the wrong we
are no longer free.
I suspect that many of the
political prisoners in coun-
tries with corrupt govern -
Merits are more free than the
men who put them there for
the latter are' strangled by
fear, bound by a terror that
some day someone will rise
up and cut them down.
Yes, freedom is God-given
bitt"man can and does,control
his own actions in regard to it.

"SICKNES AND SIN".
One thing that really concerns
this writer about modern life, is
how sin is Constantly called sick-
ness. A man commits some moral.
outrage and they say he is sick -
they even tell him that.
I went to see a man some time
ago who had fallen into unspeakable
mmorality and it 'had caught up
with him. For years ,his sanctimoni-
ous life had been a sham; now the
,mask was torn off and he was in
trouble -real deep trouble.
1 had been telling him that, now
his bestcourse was to make a clean
confession -to the courts and. tp
God. But someone else ,had gotten
'to him first. While he listened, this
man • had told, his wife: "You must
get Jim to see that he's sick and
needs help. I'm not condoning what
he has done, but I'm hopeful that if
he.,gets the proper help ,he can be
cured."
What a way to evade the sin ques-
tion!''Of course the man was sick -
1 imagine you and I would. be sick
too if we lived as he had. But let's
get this itraightl His sickness dame
from his sin, not his sin from some
sickness. He would have been far
better off to sob out his heart in
contrition before God and 'for his
sin than to excuse his conducton
the grounds of illness. Rom: 5:,12
says: "By one man sin entered into
the world and death by sin," anci
Rom. 6:23 says: "The wages of sin
is death.".'
The sobering' fact is that while
there :may be differences in the
',kinds of sins we commit, or in the
degrees of our, sin, Rom. 3:23 de-
clares that there is no difference in,
this,,, that "all' have sinned and
come short of the glory of God."
That's why we are so pleased and
proud to proclaim "the gospel of
the grace of God," now Christ paid
the penalty for our sins' that we
might have a perfect standing be-
fore a holy God, "being justified
freely by His grace, through the re-
demption that is in Christ Jesus"
(Rom. 3:24). "Thanks be unto' God
for His unspeakable giftl", (II Cor.
9:15).
