Chris Norton broke his neck while playing college football. He was given a three percent chance of ever moving again. Norton didn’t get sad; he got mad. After months of hard work, he wiggled a toe. Eventually, he was able to get up out of his wheelchair and walk seven feet – down the wedding aisle.
“Nothing will be impossible with God” (Luke 1:37).
Let’s talk about that word – nothing.
This is God’s message . . .
To the addict – “Sobriety is possible.”
To the spouse – “Healing is possible.”
To the couple – “Reconciliation is possible.”
Either “nothing will be impossible with God,” or the entire Bible is called into question. That doesn’t mean these enormous challenges will be easy. But it does mean they are possible.
Recovery Step: Move every challenge in your life into the category of “possible.”
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.
