It would be a delusion for the slave to speak “I am free”. The only freedom we have;  is who will we slave for?</p> <p>Whether it is slaving for riches, fame, and glory or  for men or for god,</p> <p>WE SLAVE; We all serve a master.</p> <p>Just as Herod was not going to allow another system,  to interfere with his ruler ship, the slaves belonged to him.  </p> <p>We all have reached the proverbial fork in the road, choose one.</p> <p>If you don’t like the terms;  <strong>Tough… </strong></p> <blockquote> <p><em>Why should He dislike me so?</em></p> </blockquote> <p>He doesn’t even know you; unless you’ve drawn his attention. Until you ask him “ Look here I am, I will do your will",</p> <p>I set aside my own selfish, fleshly desires, where before;  I was hoping to reap rewards, from a corrupt system with its corrupt Masters, who delight in whipping their servants into submission, saying in their hearts "Don't even think about freedom, your mine, till you die "</p> <p>Instead; I will slave for HIM, having heard his yoke is light; I will humbly bend my knee, in loyal submission, because we know, He is the rewarder of those, who earnestly seek HIM out”</p> <p>As I humbly beseech him; “Write my name in your book of Life, remember me, as one of our humble, loyal servants.</p> <blockquote> <p><em>Would that make life any better?</em></p> </blockquote> <p>Can this corrupt system of slavery, offer this kind of hope?</p> </div></div></div> Tue, 19 Mar 2013 04:15:27 +0000 Resistance comment 175923 at http://dagblog.com Oh there is no god for http://dagblog.com/comment/175907#comment-175907 <a id="comment-175907"></a> <p><em>In reply to <a href="http://dagblog.com/reader-blogs/now-it-just-takes-puff-smoke-16360">Now it just takes a puff of smoke</a></em></p> <div class="field field-name-comment-body field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>Oh there is no god for chrissakes.</p> <p>I know, I have been reviewing tapes of the goings on at CPAC the last couple of days.</p> <p>I mean if Palin had choked on her slurpy...well, there might have been some indication of god's presence.</p> <p> </p> </div></div></div> Mon, 18 Mar 2013 20:17:03 +0000 Richard Day comment 175907 at http://dagblog.com
