We all have individual rights and freedoms; Americans perhaps more than most. However, I believe the Bible in general and Jesus (and Paul, John, Peter and James) in particular clearly teach our rights and freedoms are not to be used for our own self-aggrandizement but for the benefit of all humankind.
We are in the midst of a revival of consciousness. Those who do not see it are the very ones who insist on individual rights without the accompanying responsibilities. Nothing severs the connection to God faster than self-centeredness. It is a mistake to think God speaks only to Christians. God will not be silenced by our deafness. When Christians refuse to listen God will speak to those who will.
