On this Freedom Friday, we wrapped up our weekly mindset theme by discussing the barriers that keep us from salvation. We have to choose whether or not we want to surrender to Jesus and allow Him to help us break down those barriers. We flipped to Romans 18:21, 2 Corinthians 4:3-4 and Matthew 7:21-23 to see the barriers. When we can identify the barriers in our lives, we can surrender them to Him, and God will open our hearts to change. We saw this in Acts 16 with Lydia and how God opened her heart to hear and commit to the Lord. We also announced Karl Clauson’s free book signing event next month for his book, “Killing Sin.” You can hear the highlights of today’s program on Karl and Crew Showcast.
