Comments on: Where Is the Freedom? http://www.novuslumen.net/where-is-the-freedom I write within the tension of spirituality and culture, politics and theology, existing and emerging forms of church, the Kingdom of God and Empire America, modern and postmodern thought, & the gritty drama that is my pilgrim story.

And I heard an analogy about a prisoner who is in a jail cell that is unlocked and wide open. The prisoner laments the fact he is in jail, but it is by his choice because he can in fact leave! And the same is true for us. While some of us are still in jail, it is because we have not counted on the fact that we are free...our freedom is a reality in Christ and we just need to get up and leave. Now that does take some work and may take years to crawl out, but our freedom is still a reality. Thanks for the reminder of 2 Cor. I didn't think of that verse and is a great reminder! -jeremy ps-I'm definitely taking u up on your offer of a second rendezvous... Hey Meghann,

(haha ok, not quite...) but anyways, i was challenged after last night- i didn't directly ask you what YOU THOUGHT it means to follow Jesus...so at 1:30 in the morning (yes, too much coffee) i went through the book of Matthew and found the "job description" of what Jesus says it means to follow him. too bad that DC doesn't have that list on their agenda...
