What is Freedom?

Note: Bill is now regularly posting for a blog devoted to healing those who struggle with PTSD or simply the struggles of life.  Check out “Warrior’s Well” at warriorswell.wordspress.com for a holistic approach to healing for those who are in the fight, day in and day out!

“For you have been called to live in freedom, my brothers and sisters. But don’t use your freedom to satisfy your sinful nature. Instead, use your freedom to serve one another in love. For the whole law can be summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”” (Gal 5:13–14 NLT)

There has been a lot of talk about freedom lately.  This is no surprise since we just experienced a fourth of July holiday here in the United States.  But here’s my question: What does freedom mean?
