Carrie Gall was working hard to keep God's approval.

Then she came to a breaking point.

This thing called the Christian life, I can't do it.

It doesn't work for me.

It works for you.

I can see that it works for other people, but it doesn't work for me.

And I'm tired of trying.

I cannot do it. Today, Carrie shows us how she discovered freedom.

This is the Revive Our Hearts podcast for Thursday, June 12th, 2014.

Oh, it's been such a blessing to have Carrie Gaul with us here this week as a guest teacher on Revive Our Hearts.

And Carrie, it's been a joy to hear your heart and to see your sensitivity to truth and your love for the gospel and how it still touches you afresh.

And one of the things I want in my life is never to lose the wonder of these truths that we traffic in all the time.

And thank you for letting it be fresh in you and helping it be fresh in us.

And I know that some of the things Carrie has been talking about,

you're going to want to keep thinking about, keep pondering, keep working into your life.

And to help you with that, we're offering a resource this week by my friend Elise Fitzpatrick.

It's a devotional book called Comforts from Romans, celebrating the gospel one day

at a time. It's 31 short devotional readings from the first eight chapters of the book of Romans.

And I'm memorizing in Romans 8 right now, so that's fresh on my heart. There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in

Christ Jesus. Carrie's been telling us why there's no condemnation for us. And as we heard

yesterday, that's because he took all the condemnation that we deserved for our sins. So when you make a donation of any amount to revive our hearts,

we'll be glad to send you this book, Comforts from Romans.
