Academic Discipleship
The Costly Arc of Religious Freedom
We can be in both the spheres of academics and religion, but by keeping these separate, we lose aspects of religious freedom in the public sphere.
Free to Choose
Elder Rasband teaches about the the gift of agency. We are free to choose joy, to choose how we worship, and to choose to follow Jesus Christ.
Free to Choose Liberty or Captivity
With our agency, we can choose to follow the Savior and experience joy and liberty or to follow Satan and experience misery and captivity.
“Abide Ye in the Liberty Wherewith Ye Are Made Free”
Through the Atonement of Jesus Christ we can be liberated from sin on condition of repentance. There is no greater liberation.
Free Agency and Freedom
God's plan includes agency, the freedom to choose. That cannot be taken away, but our freedom, or ability to act on our choices, can.
“Where the Spirit of the Lord Is, There Is Liberty”
Liberty comes from following Christ and must be defended, not only on wartorn battlefields, but in our everyday actions against the evils of the world.
Freedom and Personal Liberty
We are privileged to enjoy freedom in a country where many have sacrificed for it. Let us use our freedom to choose good over evil.
Christianity—Repression or Liberation?
True Christianity is the companion of liberty, not an instrument of oppression. Christ can give you true freedom from sin, futility, and fear.
Moral Free Agency
Daniel H. Ludlow outlines the conditions necessary for our moral free agency to be effective. In our lives and our country, we must preserve this freedom.
The Land Choice Above All
God has given us this land, America, as a land choice above all. But its greatness lies in the degree to which we give of our blessings to the world.
Borne upon Eagles’ Wings
Through repentance, we can escape the bondage of sin and be borne on eagles' wings to eternal freedom and gain mercy from the Lord.
The American Challenge
The American challenge today is to win back and defend morality, freedom from excessive government control, and patriotism.
An Eternal Quest—Freedom of the Mind
Many today are seeking greater freedom, especially freedom of thought. Be grateful for your freedom of the mind, and use it well.
Our Immediate Responsibility
No matter how appealing the modern movements toward socialism and communism are, we must defend freedom, which is essential in God's plan.
What Is True Freedom?
We are blessed to live in a free land. But is true freedom the ability to do whatever you darn well please? No. True freedom cannot come without morality.
Protecting Political Freedom
As the central government's power ever increases, we must protect our political freedom and show that we will take a stand as members of the Church.
