Description
Freedom is a sense, a feeling that other ways of living and acting are possible. This does not mean that one can, in fact, realize these possibilities, but the very sense of their possibility maintains the freedom of one's soul. With this freedom, though, one is burdened with two attendant responsibilities: 1.) The responsibility for one's own actions; and 2.) The responsibility for one's reaction to the events of one's life. (Abstract created by Duke Divinity School staff.)Sermon start time: (Part 1) 01:44. Sermon end time: (Part 1) 35:36.Key quotation: “He or she who would be free must keep alive a dead certainty, a feeling, a notion, an awareness that whatever my circumstances, my condition, my situation may be at any given moment in time, it does not exhaust what the possibilities of life are for me.”
