Choosing Christ for Recovery
by Roger Stark
An addict’s mantra is, “I want what I want when I want it,” and his or her emotion-based decision-making process is driven by it. Once an addict finds himself or herself in full-blown addiction, they get lost in themselves and their gratification. But Heavenly Father has a different model in mind for us.
You may not be dealing with an addiction, but you can still apply these spiritual decision-making principles to your life. Ultimately, our choices determine our happiness. How do we choose Christ on a daily basis through even the small decisions? How do we encourage others in our sphere of influence to make righteous choices? We welcome your comments.
