Chris.
Proclaiming freedom for the captives is a very important part of the Gospel. The Bible teaches us that Truth proclaimed brings freedom. We should not fall into the idea of "setting people free" using "spiritual gimmicks" in a futile attempt in our way to set captives free. The Proclamation of Truth is so meaningful and helpful in the Christian Ministry.
