Why Restitution Brings Restoration

You’ve been sober for months. Everyone in your Life Recovery group says you’ve made significant progress. You’re seeing a counselor once a week, working your recovery program and from the outside, everything seems to be going great. But deep down inside, you wonder if life will ever go back to normal and you doubt that long-term restoration is possible.

Restoration is possible. But first, you must make restitution. Step 9 in Life Recovery states, “We made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.” When we make restitution, it can bring restoration, if not for the relationship but for you in your recovery. Restitution is making amends to those whom your addiction and behavior have hurt. [Read more…]

10 Scriptures to Overthrow Worry

Does worry weigh you down? Maybe your mind races when you go in for your annual checkup, afraid you’ll be diagnosed with a terminal illness. Or you might lie awake at night wondering if your spouse is keeping something from you. Perhaps you worry that there will not be enough money at the end of the month. Can you relate?

If so, worry is holding you back. The good news is that it’s possible to overthrow the worry that weighs you down! There are many Scriptures that give us insight on how to handle our worry and anxiety. Reading these won’t make the feelings go away immediately, but when you can gain perspective and realize that God is there for you, it becomes easier to see your way out of worry and into peace. Here are 10 Scriptures that will help you overthrow worry: [Read more…]

You’re Back!

The story of the prodigal son is intriguing because it mirror’s God the Father’s view of you. Like the father in the story, His eyes are always fixed on the crest of the hill, longing to see you coming over the horizon on your way home.

God isn’t the slightest bit preoccupied with whether or not you’re worthy to return to Him. He knows you’re not. Personal worth isn’t the issue at hand. The prodigal son worried about this, too. He was certain that his sinful lifestyle had disqualified him – had made him unworthy of being considered his father’s son.

But the father quickly brushed all that aside. ‘What’s this talk about worthiness? You’re back! That’s what matters!‘ Their relationship was restored instantly. [Read more…]

Persevering in Faith

Persevering in FaithFaith in God enables men and women to make great choices — choices that can affect not only themselves, but all of history. Hebrews chapter 11 is filled with examples of faithful men and women who have gone before us. Here’s just a few:

‘By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in holy fear built an ark to save his family‘ (Heb. 11:7).

‘By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going‘ (Hebrews 11:8).

‘By faith Moses’ parents hid him for three months after he was born, because they saw he was no ordinary child, and they were not afraid of the king’s edict‘ (Hebrews 11:23).

‘By faith the prostitute Rahab, because she welcomed the spies, was not killed with those who were disobedient‘ (Hebrews 11:31). [Read more…]

Sifting Through the Rubble

The decision to make a significant life-style change is important, but not nearly as important as the plan for change and the resolve to continue following that plan when it becomes a grind. The story of Nehemiah is both insightful and encouraging for all of us who find ourselves stuck in the recovery process.

Under the wise direction of Nehemiah, the Israelites had organized a Herculean effort to rebuild the walls of their beloved city. The city wall, which was the primary defense against marauding bands of thieves, had lain in ruins for a generation. Solomon, in Proverbs 25:28, likens broken down city walls to a lack of self-discipline — ‘Like a city whose walls are broken down, is a man who lacks self-control.’

Our story begins sometime after the reconstruction efforts had begun. Nehemiah lists in detail the various sections of the wall with the names of the families who worked on them. The people worked hard and rejoiced as a new wall arose from the rubble: ‘So we rebuilt the wall till all of it reached half its height, for the people worked with all their heart.’ (Nehemiah 4:6).
