Breaking the chains that enslave us

So many people are in bondage. They are enslaved to a painful past, anger, self-destructive mindsets, sinful habits, ... On and on this list could go. 

But, it is not Jesus' desire for us to remain in bondage to what would destroy us. No! God gets no glory when His children are enslaved to anything other than Him, who showed us how much He cares for us on the Cross.

So is there a remedy? Is there some way to break free from the chains? Yes! A thousand times Yes! 

While sometimes we will need to enlist the help of others, our ultimate remedy is found in studying, believing and applying the life-giving principles found on the pages of God's Word.

"Jesus said to the people who believed in him, 'You are truly my disciples if you remain faithful to my teachings. And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.'" (John 8:31-32 NLT)
