The Road to Recovery
by Ronald Boelte
Throughout history man has always had problems that they could not
handle on their own. Even so often they would look toward other means
other than God, to help solve them, and often those means were more
destructive than the problem itself.
Our society has become more and more complex. Kids now often have three
sets of grandparents. Sexual, alcohol, and drug addition for men and women
is growing at an exponential rate. Divorce is at an all time high, even
for Christians. This and many other problems is the reality of our modern
society, and yet many people still look for ways to get through them
without God. Don’t get me wrong there are some great programs out there
like Alcoholics Anonymous, but even it realizes and has a place for God in
its recovery steps. Often however people look to God for help as a last
resort and some will never look to God for help. The answer has always
been God and the Bible is a great source when we need help and recovery
from our problems. This week, we will use the Beatitudes to help us focus
on eight different steps to recovery.
