It is difficult to free fools from the chains they revere. (Voltaire, 18th century French Enlightenment philosopher)
We hear a lot about addictions today. There are all kinds, apparently—drugs, alcohol, food disorders, pornography—you name it. Some of them are publicly denounced; others are socially acceptable, it seems—eating too much, over-spending, sports fanaticism, to name a few. And it’s tough to free ourselves from those habits, especially if we don’t want to.
So Christ has truly set us free. Now make sure that you stay free, and don’t get tied up again in slavery to the law. (Galatians 5:1)
