Fact: something that actually exists; truth; something said to be true or supposed to have happened.
This dictionary definition of “fact” states that a fact can be both true and false! No wonder a certain advertiser can make the following statement about their product: These facts may or may not be true.
A well known columnist once wrote, “If people worship pleasure and material things, they are more likely to get leaders (and advertisers – my note) who give them what they want instead of what they need to hold society together. If we erase the boundaries that have guided humanity for generations, we weaken our society.”
We live in a weakened society where facts don’t have to be true! Our enemy controls all the messages we hear save one – the Word of God! Who will you listen to today? What filter will you use for truth that will set you free from all negative consequences – society’s or Jesus’?
It sounds obvious, but we all have excuses (dare I say, lame ones?) for not being with and in the Word throughout our day. Hopefully, you’re using the FREEdom process to eliminate yours.

A friend recently said, “There is enough time, but no longer all the time in the world.” It’s another way of saying, “Don’t put off until tomorrow, what you can do today because there might not be a tomorrow.”
Our enemy tries to get us to believe that we can take our drug of choice without consequence; and, since we’re already doing it, what’s a little more for a little while longer? What a great lie.
Grace doesn’t give us tomorrow, let alone all the time in the world. It gives us today, this very moment, to choose to walk with Jesus to enjoy the sweet fragrance of His presence while avoiding the stench of our failure.
The time is now to enjoy Jesus. It’s well worth the effort to FREEdom out the great lie.

Come on, cookie dough? Yes, cookie dough can be a drug if it’s where you turn, rather than to Jesus, to feel better about yourself.
We have to stop playing the game, “Well, I’m not doing that bad. In fact, compared to the coke head, I’m doing just great.” This mentality leads to a finger pointing that turns people off to Jesus as they see the hypocrisy in our lives. It also means we’re comparing ourselves to the wrong standard. Jesus is the only One we’re to measure our daily decisions by as He is the only source of the ultimate feel good here on this planet and when we leave it.
Guilt is not a Jewish, Roman Catholic or Baptist thing to keep people in line. (Though it’s often used that way!) The Spirit of God uses guilt to get us to stop and take inventory of our lives: Is our way of making decisions and living working? If not, the Spirit hopes we’ll turn around (aka repent) and look to Jesus for what real living is in the here and now.
I admit it. I love chocolate chip cookies, especially right out of the oven. They can be the feel good drug I turn to; but, I also know that the good feeling only lasts for about 30 seconds. Jesus, not chocolate chip cookies, will bring a feel good feeling that will last a lot longer. Thus, I’m willing to let the Spirit use guilt to get me to turn away from anything, and I mean anything, that comes between me and Jesus. How about you?

How much joy do you want to know? Process out the lies/sin to draw nearer to Jesus. How much peace do you want to experience? Filter out the lies/sin to become more like Jesus. How much love do you want to feel? Process out the lies/sin to let His love pour out through your very pores.
Processing daily life with its decisions means making progress toward Jesus. The FREEdom process is the biblical tool to get at the root of the sinful action – the lie – in order to get rid of it, replace it with the truths from God’s Word and then act on those truths by faith and in the Spirit’s power. As you continually practice this process, your life will change; and, you will experience more joy, more peace and more love, all of which are found in Jesus’ presence.
Processing daily life doesn’t mean staying in the midst of the sinful behavior that’s wiping the smile off your face, destroying the peace in your mind and blocking the love from flowing out of your heart. No, use the FREEdom Christ gave you (Gal. 5:1) to go forward in order to know more of Jesus and what He offers – true life today and for eternity – in your every day life.

I heard a professional baseball player once say, “I have to slow the game down. I have to focus on each pitch, not the end result, if I’m going to be successful at this game.”
This little girl wants to be president of the US someday, which is entirely possible. Yet, her Papi gives her spot on advice. Make leadership choices today and the rest will take care of itself.
Jesus said, “Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” Jesus used a word for “worry” that means to have a divided mind. One that is both here and there, which not only brings anxiety, but keeps you from being ready for the choices – “trouble” – you must work through today.
Slow life down. Leave tomorrow, the end result, in the hands of the only One who can take care of today and tomorrow at the same time. Your part is to simply exercise the truth by faith today to become more like Jesus. Life as a believer truly is one day, one decision at a time in the moment.
