0:00.0	Good morning everyone and welcome back to another mornings with the masters. We're going to vote
0:14.9	ourselves to the Lord daily with you. Good morning you guys. Good morning indeed. We're picking
0:19.2	back up a new morning mercies so without for the due toys to take from here. Yes y'all let's
0:24.0	do it. Today's traditional says this. Grace frees you from the dissatisfying claustrophobia of your
0:32.4	individualism to enjoy the fulfilling freedom of loving and serving God. Individualism is not
0:41.2	freedom. It is bondage. Living for yourself is not liberty. It is a self-imposed prison. Doing what
0:50.1	you want to do when you want to do it and how you want to do it has never been the good life.
0:56.4	It never leads to anything good. Making up your own rules and following your own past lead to
1:03.0	disaster. God calls you to Himself and commands you to follow Him so that by grace He may free you

1:45.2	don't have the power and wisdom we would need to live an independent existence. To try to live life
1:53.0	completely independent of God is like trying to drive a beautiful boat down a super highway.
1:59.5	The boat that is a wonderful creation loaded with amazing design details but it was not built to
2:07.2	run on a hard surface. If you try to run it on land you will destroy the boat and you will go
2:13.4	nowhere fast. The entrance of sin into the world and into our hearts teaches us that we were not
2:21.3	hard wired for independence. It also complicated things. The fall made us all a danger to ourselves
2:29.6	because of the sin in us we think bad things. We desire bad things. We are attracted to bad things
2:37.6	and we choose bad things and we are blind to much of this going on inside ourselves.
2:43.6	So not only do we need God's presence and His wisdom to guide and protect us but we also
