A conversation with a friend I love became the doorway to a truth I didn’t fully understand myself until I took it to God in prayer. We think we know the difference between the devil and God because we were handed a picture as children, an angel on one shoulder, a devil on the other, good feelings and bad feelings marking which one we’ve chosen. But that picture is incomplete, and it left me unable to help my friend see what I was actually trying to say. This post is the tool God gave me instead, a way to finally understand feelings for what they are, where they come from, and how to tell the difference between what is righteous and what only wears righteousness as a costume.

The Freedom Series | Bound No More: The Path to Freedom

In Part Four of Bound No More, we trace the recognizable shapes bondage takes when it moves from theology into biography.
