The darkness of the soul of one in the bondage of addiction is apparent. It engulfs their countenance. The darkness that they have succumbed to is a spiritual darkness that the world does not comprehend. Matthew 4:16 speaks of those who “sit in darkness”. This position of sitting denotes one who has become used to (is… Read More »The Darkness of Addiction
In reflecting on the failure of many believers floundering recklessly in their faith, I am not surprised at their plight because they have shipwrecked while sailing through reefs, rocks, and routes that the Lord has warned them of in Scripture. Grace has been quenched in their lives because they have left the fountain from where it… Read More »The Quenching of Grace
In thinking of the pain and suffering inflicted on the families of addicts, it is not surprising that they (the families) exhibit reluctance, reservation and suspicion of the addicted family member. The addict has planted unbelievable, unimaginable aberrant behavior in the home. This IED (improvised explosive disorder) is manifested by wounding all of those around… Read More »The Self-Centeredness of An Addict
I have observed in counseling that many are not good at handling the pressures of life. As the apostle Paul writes to the church of Corinth; “We are hard pressed on every side…” II Cor. 4:8. The pressures of life have erupted in various ways. Pressures from personal relationships are a concern to all of… Read More »The Pressures of Life

Resentment can be caused by many differing circumstances such as neglect, offense, abandonment, abuse (verbal, physical and/or sexual), envy, jealousy, covetousness, rejection, etc. When the name of the offender comes up the person with the canker in their soul is more likely… Read More »The Canker of Resentment
As our culture drifts towards evil, the distinction concerning good and evil slowly fades. Unless the saint is grounded, rooted and disciplined in the faith, he will more than likely end up like the children of Israel during the time of Judges. “Then the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord… Read More »The Love of Evil
I am confounded by many who are professed Christians in a lukewarm condition. It is a condition, on one hand, that demonstrates the absence of any spiritual fervor for the Lord and, on the other hand, a bruising indictment on the Laodicean church. God’s word to them is “because you are lukewarm and neither cold nor… Read More »The Laodicean Malady
One of the common traits I see in believers who have succumbed to defeat of varying degrees is passivity. The passive believer is entangled into a web of complacency, not knowing that he is even in the web he has gotten himself into. For those of us who are trying to help, it is as… Read More »Passivity: Fertile Ground for Temptation
Thanksgiving and Christmas can often be times of hurt, resentment and loneliness. They can bring pleasant or unpleasant memories. My prayer for you, my readers, is that you will make every effort to be a “peace maker” during this time. “Blessed are the peace makers; for they shall be called the sons of God.” (Matt… Read More »“Give Papa A Kiss”
The Scriptures tell us in Acts 4:22 that it is “through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God.” It is an attempt to circumvent this truth that causes the despair of many. Modern science has become the panacea for all suffering. Many have a superficial level of the depth of the riches of… Read More »Trust In The Lord
