The warmest temperature ever recorded in the United States was 134 degrees, in Death Valley, California, on July 10, 1913.
The coldest temperature ever recorded in the U.S. was -80 degrees in Prospect Creek, Alaska, on January 23, 1971.
I’m guessing neither option sounds like your next vacation.
We live in a world of extremes. Pick a category – politics, religion, fitness, social media. You see it everywhere – extremes.
Wise Solomon spoke to this with a little verse tucked away in a section of the Bible that is rarely noticed: “Whoever fears God will avoid extremes” (Ecclesiastes 7:18).
Recovery Step: Some things call for an extreme reaction – such as addiction. But don’t live all of life in the extremes.
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.
