Not so long ago . . .
An application was for employment. A program was a show on TV. A cursor used profanity. A keyboard was a piano. A mouse was a critter. Memory was what you lost with old age. A CD was a bank account. Log on meant adding wood to the fire. Hard drive was a long trip on the road. A back-up took place in the toilet. A web was a spider’s home. A virus was the flu.
One thing never changes. Actually, one Person never changes – “Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8).
The world is changing rapidly. If you just woke up from a coma after five years, you would think you had been transported to another universe. But take heart. What matters most is still the same.
Recovery Step: If you are looking for consistent hope, love, and encouragement in an ever-changing world, I suggest you give your life to Christ.
Author: Mark Denison
Mark and Beth Denison, married for 36 years, launched There’s Still Hope as a national movement to call men and women into lives of sexual integrity. Their ministry offers 90-day recovery plans for addicts and one-on-one and group coaching for addicts and their spouses. TSH also produces resources for pastors and churches to confront the porn epidemic that is destroying so many lives.
Dr. Denison was a senior pastor for over 30 years, NBA chaplain, and board chairman at Houston Baptist University three times. With a Master’s Degree in Addiction Recovery, Mark is a certified PSAP and active member of the American Association of Christian Counselors.
Mark has written four books on recovery: Porn in the Pew, 365 Days to Sexual Integrity, A 90-Day Recovery Guide, and 40 Days to Porn-Free Living. His latest book, Jesus on the 12 Steps, will be released later this year.
