In May 2008,
I asked a question on my blog, http://www.flowerdust.net
The result is a movement by
people everywhere who are
finished with keeping their
brokenness in the...
...dark.
CHURCH DISMAYThe church is supposed to be a safe place for everybody, especially people who are most broken, right?
“The church can be safe. But we can’t rely on others to make it a safe place. It begins with us.”
- Anne Jackson
“The Bible says the only thing we have to do is take a step into the light. When we respond like that, His Word will find its way into our hearts.”
- Anne Jackson
HIDING FROM GODWhen we sin, why do we often feel we need to work our way back into a relationship with God?
“It doesn’t matter how much we have sinned, or what things we keep in the dark or just how hidden we think we are from God - we may be out of His will, but we’re not out of His reach.”
- Anne Jackson
Through confession, both to God and to
others, we can live lives that are whole and
healed. Let these confessions and others
found within the pages of Permission to
Speak Freely serve as inspiration to
discovering your own path to redemption
and freedom.
