Blessings on you from the Elliott family! Thank you for subscribing, and we hope you enjoy today’s newsletter. Good morning and happy Wednesday! We are continuing in the book of Romans today, thinking about how God always sees our hearts—and what He sees ain't too pretty, is it? My goal is to bring a little bit of Scripture, a sprinkle of encouragement, and a dash of hope to your day. I love a good cup of coffee (brewed like this), but if some other drink is more your style, I'm sure that will work. The point is for you to take a break from crazy living, just long enough for a sip of joy.

The book of Ephesians is such a positive book! It was written by Paul, the first missionary to the nations, while he was in prison in Rome for sharing the gospel. So you’d think he would be feeling frustrated, discouraged, and defeated. Instead, Paul starts his letter to the church in faraway Ephesus with a list of all the ways God had blessed them
all. This is certainly not the way I’d be tempted to act if I were in his shoes! Read More. Learn More |
How to Respond When the Flesh Takes OverBy Anne Elliott, November 25, 2011, AnneElliott.com
The Bible says that every single human being is born wanting to live by the “lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind” (Ephesians 2:3). What does
this mean? It means that our physical bodies have some “lusts” or cravings. A lust isn’t just a sexual desire; it’s a desire for anything at all that the body needs. In fact, a lust of the “flesh” isn’t even necessarily wrong. It can be a real need. Read More
