Breaking Free by Greg Holmes, D.MIN – Director of Missions serving 17 churches
WE HAVE ALL been constrained against our will, defenseless against the knotted cords of minutia binding us to unwanted outcomes at the hands of the *Lilliputians. We were bound to our families of birth, bound to our place of birth, bound to the financial circumstances of first our family and later our own opportunities, taken or not. We have been held firmly in place in our strata in society, and any attempt to rise above where we found ourselves when we woke up, much like Gulliver, is hampered by myriad tenuous threads, much like the proverbial fly in a spider’s gossamer web. Our circumstances are not unique; they describe a common human journey that affects not only individuals, but nations.
