Isaac Asimov said, “People who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do.”
As one who knows everything, I can relate.
For the rest of you who don’t yet know it all, let me tell you where to start. Better yet, let Solomon tell you where to start. He wrote, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom” (Proverbs 1:7).
So where does “the fear of the Lord” come from? Pastor and author Ray Pritchard connects the dots. “The fear of the Lord is an attitude of the heart. It is a choice. It says ‘yes’ to God before he asks.”
Knowledge is power. But it must be the right kind of knowledge – the fear of the Lord.
Recovery Step: Get your heart right, and your recovery will follow.
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.
