God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
AA has been helpful for many people. It provides accountability, mutual understanding in an environment that doesn’t judge and wonderful support for many people. It does not, however, strive to find distinctively biblical answers to the problems of life. As a result, it is bound to have some problems:
1. Its disease model doesn’t really let anyone get to the heart of the matter… When we examine our hearts, we find is that the greatest danger is that we are hooked on ourselves… This means that even if I give up alcohol, unless I deal head on with my biggest problem, I will never truly find freedom. I will just find something else to serve my desires.
2. Its theory of change does not reveal the against-God nature of the addictive behavior. Even though we are not always consciously aware that our addictions are disobedient before God, the reality is that they are.
3. Jesus is optional. If it is true that addictive behavior is rebellion against divine authority, then addicts have no hope but to run to Jesus for forgiveness, cleansing, and power.

INSTRUCTIONS
Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and cook slowly for one hour. Add the
nuts and cook 3 minutes longer.
Ladle into hot sterlized jars, leaving 1/4 inch space at top. Adjust the
lids. If you're not going to use it soon, process in a boiling water bath
for 10 minutes. It can also be cooled and frozen, rather than processed.
This keeps well in the refrigerator, as well.
