<font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">A spiritually-minded person will
never come to you with the demand - “Believe this and that”; a
spiritually-minded person will demand that you align your life with
the standards of Jesus. We are not asked to believe the Bible, but to
believe the One whom the Bible reveals (see John 5:39-40). We are
called to present liberty for the conscience of others, not to bring
them liberty for their thoughts and opinions. And if we ourselves are
free with the liberty of Christ, others will be brought into that
same liberty - the liberty that comes from realizing the absolute
control and authority of Jesus Christ.</font></p>

<font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">Always measure your life solely
by the standards of Jesus. Submit yourself to His yoke, and His
alone; and always be careful never to place a yoke on others that is
not of Jesus Christ. It takes God a long time to get us to stop
thinking that unless everyone sees things exactly as we do, they must
be wrong. That is never God's view. There is only one true liberty -
the liberty of Jesus at work in our conscience enabling us to do what
is right.</font></p>
