			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;Little children, keep yourselves from idols&#8221; &#8211; 1 John 5:21. Thus we are instructed by the disciple Jesus loved. Avoiding idols is no easy matter and must be done if we are to fulfill the first two commandments.</p>
<p>Using Elyse Fitzpatrick&#8217;s book &#8220;Idols of the Heart: Learning to Long for God Alone&#8221; ladies will seek to study God&#8217;s Word to learn how the heart manufactures idols; how we may identify the idols of our hearts; and how we should go about dealing with them. Moses burned and crushed the golden calf and destroyed it completely. How do we crush the idols of our hearts?</p>
<p>&#8220;You shall have no other gods before me&#8221; &#8211; Exodus 20:3. In order to obey willingly and with joy, we need to rid ourselves of other objects of worship. In order to truly worship the One True God, we need to destroy the idols that take us away from obedience and lead us into yielding to them in sin. How do we avoid the sin of idolatry when our hearts are so deceptive?</p>
<p>Elyse leads us gently, but firmly, on a path designed by God to understand our hearts and yield to the Holy Spirit&#8217;s will for us. Having been justified through faith, we embark on the journey called sanctification so we may be finally glorified. Come join us as we study and journey on.</p>
