The United States military is the world’s #1 purchaser of explosives. Coming in at #2 is – ready for this? – Disney World.
Explosives are either good or bad depending on how they are used.
The tongue is that way. James said that the tongue can bring great blessing or destruction, depending on how it is used (James 3:9-10).
Horace said, “The tongue is the pen of the mind.”
In the world of recovery, you write volumes with the words you speak. Here’s my challenge. Think of a person you can see or call, whom you know could use a little encouragement today. Then follow through and do it.
Recovery Step: You can change the world, one person at a time. It starts now, with the words you say. So plan carefully.

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.
