Judy Starr learned from experience not to trust her heart.

When your heart is so tied to another individual, you will do anything that it takes to be with them,

regardless of how stupid and foolish your decisions become.

It's Thursday, February 2nd, and you're listening to Revive Our Hearts with Nancy Lee DeMoss.

It's been said that the way to know whether you've made an idol in your heart is when you're

either willing to sin in order to get it or sin

because you can't have it. Today we'll hear how Judy Starr turned from the idol she had

made in her heart, a relationship with a man who wasn't her husband. Here's Nancy Lee DeMoss.

There's no question is there that we live in a fallen, messed up world.

According to the book of James, we are all sinners.

We all sin in many ways.

But I am so thankful, aren't you, that God is a God of grace, that he is a redeeming God

and that he has the power to bring hope into the most desperate and hopeless situations.

We've been talking this week with Judy Starr about a situation she found herself in.

She didn't just find herself in this situation.

She walked into a situation that ended up being very dangerous.

But as I'm looking at you, Judy, I'm so thankful that God

is a redeeming God and that you are restored to your relationship with Stotler. We're talking

about that process. But I know that you're really thankful that he is a God who can make

all things new. Oh, I praise God every day for His grace over my life. So thank you for sharing your story, not only here with our Revival Hearts listeners, but also you've done a great job of sharing not only the story, but the Word of God is it bears on this situation in a book that you've written called The Enticement of the Forbidden.

Many of our listeners need to order a copy of that book immediately because

they are in a situation where they need to be rescued. And this book may be the life preserver.
