The Stewardship of Our First Freedom
If we are to respond to our secular critics and, more importantly, fulfill our accountability to God, we must go beyond our formally protected rights. We must remember and honor the stewardship of our first freedom. We cannot honor this stewardship if we hide nervously in the forest of faith and merely mumble the reason for the hope that is in us. Our first freedom is most inspiring when it moves us to articulate and act on our call to serve others, lift those who struggle, and shine a light to the world.
