Why Freedom?

Freedom, in its fullest sense, is the legacy of true love, willed by God our Father as a gift to us His children. A gift framed within the infinite scope of His eternal love which is forgiving, forbearing, forever and for everyone. Freedom as of freewill is the faculty of conscious and deliberate choosing, to be aware of self within the environment of choice. It is the basis of conscience for freewill is a choice and a challenge, a test of one's integrity. Why freedom? As children of God we have inherited the faculties of love and creativity made possible because of our freedom to choose.

"In the triune of the theological virtues of Faith, Hope and Love it is Love that enhances both faith and Hope, thereby drawing them together with itself into a unity of purpose for being."

"If throughout your life you choose to truly love, to the end, then you have chosen to go to heaven. The place of absolute freedom, where faith is relived and relieved, hope is attested and love confirmed for eternal fulfillment, eternal freedom."

"If throughout your life you choose to be unloving and hateful, to the end, then you have chosen to go to hell. The abode of evil where there is no faith, no hope, no love. For it is where freedom is denied."

"The wise save for retirement, the wiser still prepare for eternity."
