LIVING IN AWE –
Jan. 5, 2023 – “We’ve put fancy names on idolatry like addiction, but things like addiction just provide a temporal satisfaction. If we’re worshiping the creation — or something temporal — rather than the Creator, our lives are going to be in chaos.” Pop psychology has a lot to say about mental wellness and self-care. When it comes to something like addiction recovery, is the “God factor” really that important? The Lighthouse’s approach to addiction recovery comes from Matthew 25. Bower says, “God tells us to do five things in that passage. He said take in the stranger, clothe the naked, feed the hungry, visit those in prison, and care for those who are sick. When we deal with something like addiction, it can affect all five of those points.”
