Raymond A. Foss Poems

Back to Poems Page

Ours is a freedom to,
not a freedom from,
a freedom to service others,
to live according to Christ’s example
to act, in commitment,
not merely a freedom from sin,
or a freedom from the law, the ancient
law, the code of the people
God’s given grace, the freedom,
the sacrifice of the Christ,
is a freedom to do, to be, to act
in this world, now

inspired by the sermon by the Reverend Lori Eldredge,
“The Pursuit of Freedom: License of Liberty”,
based on Galatians 5:1 & Galatians 5:13-25,
7/1/07, Wesley United Methodist Church, Concord, NH
