Brian Cooper-Master of Ceremony, Comments-Mayor Brent McCurdy 2010/07/04 http://www.newchurchaudio.org/event/19760.html Where Does Freedom Come From - The Lord’s greatest gift to the human race (John 8:31-32; AC 1937, 1947; HH 603) “The freedom which is in keeping with love to the Lord and love towards the neighbor, consequently with the love of what is good and true, is true freedom, being the freedom that exists in heaven. “This freedom that exists in heaven originates in the Lord. All angels in heaven possess it. It goes with love to the Lord and with mutual love, and so with the affection for what is good and true. The nature of this freedom becomes clear from the fact that everyone who possesses it communicates from inmost affection his own blessedness and happiness to another, and that to him it is also blessedness and happiness to be able to communicate these things. “And what is remarkable, the one type of freedom is so much the contrary of the other that for good spirits the freedom which goes with self-love and love of the world is hell, while conversely for evil spirits the freedom that goes with love to the Lord and with mutual love is hell. “Since no one can be reformed unless he is in freedom, freedom is never taken away from a person, so far as the person himself is concerned. For it is an eternal law that everyone should be interiorly in freedom, that is, that his affections and thoughts should be in freedom, so that the affection for good and truth may be implanted within him.” (Heavenly Secrets #2870-2876) 2010/07/04 http://www.newchurchaudio.org/event/19761.html 2009/07/05 http://www.newchurchaudio.org/event/19176.html Final Prayer by Rt Rev TL Kline 2009/07/05 http://www.newchurchaudio.org/event/19177.html Rev John L Odhner on chancel. 2009/07/05 http://www.newchurchaudio.org/event/19193.html
