WHAT’S THE PROBLEM Immediately a man out of the tombs with an unclean spirit met him. He lived among the tombs and no one could restrain him anymore, even with a chain….The chains he wrenched apart, and the shackles he broke in pieces; no one had the strength to subdue him. Night and day among the tombs and on the mountains he was always howling and bruising himself with stones. -Mark 5 |

HOPE FOR TODAY So if the son makes you free, you are free indeed. -John 8:36 |

The cost of this disease to our society and our Church is monumental. It breaks the hearts of those wh o love the one who is addicted. It wounds the Body of Christ. The people who suffer this illness eventually run out of hope. They have no way to continue life. No way to live. You know someone who suffers from it. We all do. God’s boundless mercy offers them the hope of new life. When accepted, it is a miracle! Every alcoholic and addicted person who has taken God’s offered hand and worked a recovery program is a miracle, one who is re-created. Jesus told the parable of the Good Samaritan for us. Help your wounded brother or sister today.
