The Faith for Living series seeks to reproduce selected messages for publications and distribution, which will bring biblical theological solutions for everyday challenges. No challenge is more common and no message is more needed. It is not my message, I assure you. It is God's. I pray that He will use these words to bring hope and healing for your life. You were not designed or destined to live you life in the bondage that comes from the pain inflicted by another. You wer meant to live free. Jesus said that "You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free." My this message that you read today give you more truth for more freedom. It is to that end that I offer it. I am grateful to Wipf and Stock for their commitment to reproduce these messages. I am thankful to my wife, Mae, who always encourages me to preach and preach and preach again. She has often prayed with me and helped me find and apply the truth I write about here for my own life.
