From the Archives: Does Twilight lead to an unholy fantasy life?
Many of you have written about how difficult it is to wait on God's timing for romance.

Where do you need freedom?
In what areas of your life do you need freedom? Are you stuck wrestling with hopelessness or depression?

These are the symptoms of bondage, and they are all rooted in lies that are contrary to God's truth.

Freedom from what?
Do you need to be reminded of your freedom? Are you living like a slave, tied to old habits, old sins, and old ways of thinking when Jesus has purchased your freedom?
