As people who want to help addicts, we need something very powerful to break the hold of idols. Pleas, tears, arguments, or threats will not penetrate. Reason is useless. We cannot simply say, “Stop doing drugs, get control of yourself, stop worshipping an idol.” As a result of spiritual oppression, drug worshippers may be very intelligent, but they can be oblivious to the destruction and slavery associated with drug abuse. They need the power of God (1 Cor. 1:18), the message of Christ crucified and risen. Other therapies can offer sobriety, but only this good news is powerful enough to liberate the soul.

A Message from our Provider:

“We don’t change God’s message — His message changes us.”

Is a Christian couple free to take steps to avoid ever having any children? The issue here is one of motive: Wrong motives for being childless: 1. The world is over-crowded. 2. The world is too corrupt. 3. “We don't like kids!” 4. “We want the money and time to spend on ourselves.” Right motives for being childless: 1. If there is good reason to believe the parents would pass on a genetically fatal disease. 2. If you are physically able to have kids but physically unable to raise and nurture them. 3. If children would impede a clear call to ministry (missionaries). 4. If you are financially unable to provide for them (but this is only legitimate for delaying the bearing of children, not for not having any at all, ever).
