Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants of God. ~ 1 Peter 2:16 (ESV)

Have you ever heard the statement “It’s a free country” used as an excuse for bad behavior? As if freedom is worthless unless you exercise it in all possible directions, both good and bad. That’s assuming the categories of good and bad can still be recognized in our societal sea of lifestyle choices. Many in our culture lack basic moral discernment and cannot (or will not) distinguish between what is allowed and what should be preferred. Is the freedom of the smut-peddler, excuse me, the adult entertainment provider, used as wisely as, say, your local grocer?

It’s a free country. Choose the good.
