I started listening to De Courcy on CSN simply because I loved his beautiful Irish lilt of an accent. But he has a very profound and fundamental view of Christianity that often resonates with me, even though he comes on at a time I can't often hear him. (Seven in the evening, locally.) I finally went to his website for the first time tonight (Know The Truth, which can be found at www.ktt.org.), and found this quote on his homepage, which I think is just about the best answer to someone who refuses to live for Christ because "His commands are so restrictive!"...
"Rabindranath Tagore, the son of the Maharishi, became a gifted composer
and poet. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913. He
said this … “I have on my table a violin string. It is free. I
twist one end of it and it responds. It is free. But it is not free to
do what a violin string is supposed to do – to produce music. So I
take it, fix it in my violin, and tighten it until it is taut. Only
then is it free to be a violin string.” A life attached to Jesus
Christ is the only life that can know true freedom. We were made by
God, for God, and life cannot be truly lived apart from the God who has
made Himself known in the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ!"
