Our politicians can't save us from heart sickness, only Jesus can. I am crying as I type this. This and a church shooting in Cali in two days. America we are heart sick and heart broken. 💔

They can pass gun laws  but those laws won't solve deep seeded heart issues or dispel lies. It's a heart issue, not a hardware issue. Evil will still find a way b/c people give themselves to it everyday, regardless of law. When is America going to deal with its heart issue?

Grace is a Person, not a command or a list of rules. Christ made you right, not you. He has already brought you to Himself. Rest in that.
Colossians 1:18-22, Galatians 2:20

My devo from today! Yes, I write in them. It will be interesting to see how this works out.

Now when Joshua was near Jericho, he looked up and saw a man standing in front of him with a drawn sword in his hand. Joshua went up to him and asked, “Are you for us or for our enemies?” “Neither,” he replied, “but as commander of the army of the Lord I have now come.”
Joshua 5:13-14a, Psalm 2:2-4

Ask yourself two questions when you have a consistent, intense emotional reaction to something someone says or anything you see or hear (outside of grotesque, obvious evil):

1) What is the root of this intense emotion?

2) Is there a subtle lie or bondage in what I am seeing or hearing that I know is wrong?

10 times out of 10, there is a root and a subtle lie or a bondage and your soul is reacting to those things. Find them, give them to the King.

"Many of our conservative beliefs are traditional—but not biblical." -Rachel Milller Green, Beyond Authority and Submission

I am learning so much from her book. Greco-Roman culture and Victorian culture have heavily influenced Christianity since the early 1800s. These ideas are not biblical, they are extra-biblical. One such culture is pagan, the ancient worship of the Greek and Roman hearth gods, Hestia and Vesta. We can't mix pagan culture or past culture with Christianity, we just can't. Christianity must influence, note I did not say control, the culture.

For such a time as this. From July 2021.

I am humbled to be telling my story of redemption tonight at a women's Bible study event. I am so excited! God is good!

I'm not sure I can do another plague. 😧😬 Did some prep work today.

Our political landscape is a mess. They can't save us. Step back Elizabeth, step back and listen. Sometimes you need to give yourself advice.

I woke up refreshed after writing until 2 am. God-inspiration will do that. ❤️🌞

I am disappointed in him for the most part. This, however, is good news this Sunday morning! https://t.co/7okduYRtEP

Prayers for my bro and sis. They have COVID and my mom and dad were exposed too. Even with vaccination, there are no guarantees.
