The Last of the Human Freedoms

Episode Summary. 

Holocaust survivor, Victor Frankl’s observation that the last of the human freedoms to be taken away from another man is his freedom to choose his attitude is biblical. It takes enormous spiritual power to choose the godly attitudes of Jesus, but that is precisely why the Holy Spirit was given to us! This episode examines the last two fruits of the Spirit, meekness and self-control.
