Acceptance and attitude, that's what we'll be thinking about today, welcome to another

look into the life and message of Elizabeth Elliott.

As she called us to live to a higher standard each day, to not be satisfied with just throwing

a little religion into our lives, that's a shallow substitute, but he wants our best.

As this series continues in the coming weeks, we'll hear from family friends and others

who are influenced by Elizabeth's life and message.

Today we begin a series called How to Simplify Your Life, which apparently was done after

10 years of Gateway to Joy programs as a summary of what Elizabeth had been telling people

on Gateway to Joy.

We'll have two Gateway to Joy programs to start out this 10-part series, 5 weeks total.

Accept what God has allowed and choose your attitude.

Also today we'll hear from Kathy Rieg and how Elizabeth was a spiritual mentor.

And we'll hear from musician John Hanson about wisdom and doing the next thing.

Right now though, Gateway to Joy 362, accept what God has allowed.

Now do you ever find yourself saying the same thing over and over again?

Well if so then maybe you can relate to today's program on what Elizabeth has to tell us.

Simplify Your Life, and isn't that sound pretty good?

Well, how would Elizabeth say that you should simplify your life?

First, she says acceptance is one of the keys.

You are loved with an everlasting love.

That's what the Bible says.

And underneath are the everlasting arms.
