I am the product of the second chance. You are, too.
Coach Lane Kiffin said, “When God gives you a second chance, it’s not something you take for granted.”
Harrison Ford said, “We all have big changes in our lives that are more or less a second chance.”
Pete Rose said, “If somebody is gracious enough to give me a second chance, I won’t need a third.”
Have you made a mess of things? Sure, you have. And that’s precisely where God steps in. You see, God loves you more than he hates your mess.
The King of Israel wrote, “But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness” (Lamentations 3:21-23).
Recovery Step: Give God a chance to give you a second chance.
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.
