There are many “chains” we use to enslave ourselves as humans, but one of the worst is substance abuse. In today’s video podcast, I look at how faith can act as a shield to one of the root causes of addiction — hopelessness.
The three Scripture references this week are…
“So humble yourselves before God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”
James 4:7
“Temptation comes from our own desires, which entice us and drag us away. These desires give birth to sinful actions. And when sin is allowed to grow, it gives birth to death.”
James 1:14-15
“And we are instructed to turn from godless living and sinful pleasures. We should live in this evil world with wisdom, righteousness, and devotion to God,”
Titus 2:12
Our charity focus this week is on MATFORCE, the Yavapai County Substance Abuse Coalition. This group is located in Prescott Valley, AZ, not far from Grand Canyon National Park.
