We are free to choose, right? What are the consequences of our decisions? Are we making the correct ones? God gives humans the ability to choose. Therefore, humans do have free will. But, in our sinful, human nature, do we really make the ones that serve us and God well? In this episode, Pastor Dan Smail and Wendy Farone discuss free will. The good, the bad, and the ugly! Further, explanation of Martin Luther's perspective that we are in 'bondage' to the will. We are free to choose salvation which is God's work in us. We are in bondage to our own human condition.
