could it be that as Americans we have always defined freedom as space?
We began because of a people wanting to overcome oppression, so they escaped across the Atlantic and have continued to move west ever since. Well now we don't have the same amount of open space to just run to (and it doesn't look like living in outer space is going to happen anytime soon), so what are we doing for freedom? We are esccaping into the world of entertainment. Anything we can do so that we don't have to confront the oppressive powers of this world and the pain which encapsulates so many even within our country. We can't just leave and start something new, now we need to begin something new here , a revolution built from within with an anticipation of God fulfilling his promises, a hope that He is living and active and desires justice now.
