Our addiction screams this message to us over and over: “You’re no good! You are beyond hope! God could never do anything with you!”
Today, I have great news!
No addict is too lost to be found, too sinful to be saved, too addicted to be freed, too broken to be fixed, too dirty to be cleansed, too poor to be blessed, too old to be new, or too sick to be healed.
The prophet said it like this: “The arm of the Lord is not too short to save, nor his ear too dull to hear” (Isaiah 59:1).
If you keep hearing a voice tell you that you are beyond the reach of God, you need to start listening to new voices.
Recovery Step: You are well within the reach of God. Come to him now.
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.
