You're addicted to what?

When someone is ADDICTED to something they have withdrawals from not using it.

Examples: caffeine, opiates, meth, nicotine, etc etc.

These people need medication from long term use and then coming to a halt of these things.

These people need more than medication, but withdrawals are a beast that medication helps with. They also need Jesus.

Let me get to my point.

You don't have a shopping addiction. That's called GREED.

You don't have a sex addiction. That's called LUST.

You don't have a baked potato addiction. That's called GLUTTONY.

no one needs flipping medicine because they can't quite watching PORN or keep their PANTS PULLED UP. That's an issue with your HEART.

Tiger Woods cheats on his wife and we give him a pass because he has a "SEX ADDICTION".

UHHHH. NO.

You can't retire because you have a shopping addiction, so we turn our heads and keep unloading Target bags from the back of your car.

UHHHH. NO.

We have literally watered down the gospel SO much that we will allow people to do whatever they want and because they say they are "sick" when the consequences hit home we comfort them and give them a pass for their SIN.

you have to walk that crap out.

So do it and quit making up excuses.

You don't have to do it alone.
But, you have to quit rolling around in it.

Satan doesn't get us all at once.
He starts at you one step at a time.

One bad thought, then one bad website, then one bad phone call, then one hook up.

One credit card, then one bad check, then one house full of crap, and a heart filled with nothing.

He knows what you genuinely struggle with and he will use it against you. Don't let him. Bc then he will tell you that you're sick. And leave you there alone and all you have is the world and it's consequences.

Jesus Christ is THE only answer.
