The Reason for God

I recently picked up a book authored by the pastor of Redeemer Church in Manhattan. This also happens to be the church I attend on a regular basis. "The Reason for God" gives answers to questions that both Christians and non-Christians alike struggle with. Although this is out of context for you (who reads this?), I thought it had a interesting perspective on the concept of freedom. He writes:

"Disciplines and constraints, then, liberate us only when they fit with the reality of our nature and capacities. A fish, because is absorbs oxygen from water rather than air, is only free if it is restricted and limited to water. If we put it out on the grass, its freedom to move and even live is not enhanced, but destroyed. The fish dies if we do not honor the reality of its nature."

-Dr. Timothy Keller.
