what a beautiful and yet also rich sermon. very deep and impactful, I had to watch the French revolution (which I studied in my high school days) for refreshments sake just to appreciate this sermon some more. thanks to Os Guinness and to COCL for putting it up. I hope many more can glean from it. blessing
(37:58) _You need the spirit of freedom just as well as the structures of freedom what his disciple Tocqueville called the habits of the heart. It's got to come down from parents to their children, from teachers to their students so it's second nature. The love of freedom and knowing how to live with freedom is a habit of the heart. The best proposal to overcome this challenge of sustaining is actually-the American Founders didn't give a name to it-what I call the Golden Triangle of freedom. If you read their writings there were three things they stressed constantly and is worth understanding to see if they apply more widely. Think of a triangle with three legs-Freedom requires Virtue, Virtue requires Faith of some sort, Faith of any sort requires Freedom_ -Os Guinness
If you're interested, Os is on utube with Dr Jordon Peterson and they are exploring the book of Exodus with a panel of about another 6 people. Best bible study I've ever listened to .
Freedom is having the ability and opportunity to practice your faith in the way you see fit and not have governments or institutions deny you that right.
@billybobwombat2231 Eternal wisdom of the day: _When you were slaves to sin, you were free from the control of righteousness. 21 What benefit did you reap at that time from the things you are now ashamed of? Those things result in death! 22 But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of the Lord, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life. 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of the Lord is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord._ -Romans 6
@stwoods25 definitely, but to squander that freedom of choice on a religion that uses fear to control you I would consider to be an unfortunate waste of a life.
@dragonhold4 strategically if your trying to convince someone your god is real and that person needs to worship that god, using a quote from a book that that person considers to be a corrupted work of fiction is a poor bit of kit to use to convince them, it actually has the opposite effect 🙂

Given the axiom that a free society can only work well if the people already have the rule of law within them, it is a mercy that God withdraws freedom from a people who no longer have that law within them. If it's not in them, it must be outside of them, that is, in the state. The gradual loss of freedom in America, is a necessary concomitant of the gradual loss of the internal goodness of the people. You do not allow ten year olds to run around playing with shotguns. A second thought, one that pertains to parenting and doing family: What good is freedom if it results in a culture that is toxic to raising children? Work on that one. Have you heard that a rapidly increasing number of young, Christian families are moving to Russia? There are fewer freedoms, but the pagan woke ideology is not permitted. These families have asked the question: What good is freedom if it means my children must try to survive in a toxic culture?

Freedom is not having to conform to a religion, step out and grow ones mind.
Freedom is having the ability and opportunity to practice your faith in the way you see fit and not have governments or institutions deny you that right.

Mmmm. Why did he say, "Ireland, sadly the land of my father's"!!??
He meant that Ireland had not based its government on the Reformation like the other countries (England, Wales, Scotland)
