It's good to be back with my North Florida Writer Live programming and the special weekend feature, Sunday Morning Coming Down. SMDC is a weekly devotional designed to glorify God and our Savior with words from the Holy Bible, a topical subject showing our need for the Loving God, music and prayer. While it is primarily designed to cater to Christians, those who are infirm and can't make it to church or just aren't sure of their belief and want to learn more about their faith, all are invited to listen in, whatever their circumstances.
We were unable to produce a message last weekend due to some significant audio difficulties with the broadcast of late. New audio equipment has been installed and it is now much clearer. I am thankful to God for affording me the capability to do that.
This week's message will be about freedom. What is real freedom? What causes bondage and how does mankind break away from it? And while we all know that slavery of man to another is abhorrent, the type of bondage I am talking about is a much greater problem because it does not require a dictatorial ruler or financial control of one person over another. No, I'm talking about freedom from sin and the joy we can find when we escape its clutches. When something other than love for God, such as love of money, sex, strong drink, food, or anything else consumes us, it destroys us. And the destruction is complete, including the destruction of our heart and soul.
To escape this ultimate loss of freedom, we need the strength of faith, belief, commitment and complete submission to the will of God for only He can direct us to the ultimate promised land. And by that, my friends, I mean heaven above sharing the table with both the Father and His Son. And as for the Holy Spirit? Well, the third person of God stays in our heart while also offering a similar reward to others who open their hearts.
We'll talk about all of these things on this weekend's show. It will be airing Saturday afternoon and then remain on demand 24/7 after completion. Here's the link:

Have a great weekend and God bless.
