Sermon Illustrations

"You and I, your neighbors and my neighbors, we share with each other our liberties and [our] civil rights.They are ours. They belong to all of us, not just to each of us. Liberty is not any one man's possession. When a man asks Freedom for himself alone, both he and his neighbor lose what he thinks he has gained. The spirit of liberty is more than jealousy for your own rights. It is a decent respect for the rights and the opinions of others. We are free, not because we have Freedom, but because we serve Freedom. The love of liberty cannot be separated from loving your neighbor as yourself."
