For those living in America, today is Independence Day, which marks the birth of the nation. When I celebrate today, two thoughts come to mind.
- “Our citizenship is in heaven” (Philippians 3:20).
- “What the people want is very simple – they want an America as good as its promise” (Barbara Jordan).
We have daily readers from at least 17 countries. But we all share one common citizenship – in heaven.
And we all want to be as good as our promise – sobriety and recovery one day at a time.
Whether you are reading this from America, Australia, Uganda, Ireland, Canada, Argentina, Kenya, Norway, South Africa, Great Britain, China, Israel, or another country, this can be Independence Day. Jesus came to set us free.
Recovery Step: Celebrate your freedom today – freedom from sin, addiction, and bondage.
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.
