Turning to God from Idols

Do you remember when a lot of people were concerned about being "politically correct?" As we expose and dispose of addictions, we must do so in a biblically correct manner, giving unto God the glory that is due to His name and establishing a formula that would be our greatest good.

Addiction can be complicated. Turning to God from Idols will help you to fully understand how addictions are best defined and eliminated as worthless, demanding idols that compete with a true and living God, Who loves us more than we can imagine. Whether you struggle with drugs, pornography, shopping ... Turning to God from Idols will show you the nature and origin of addiction. Turning to God from Idols presents the Cross of Christ as the original answer to addiction.

    Idolatry is a major theme in scripture. Ligon Duncan said, "The whole Bible is written as a full-scale assault on idolatry." Idolatry is the most biblically accurate definition of addiction. I will also show you how the Bible has enough answers to addiction for a lifetime.

    I will help you to understand why you keep returning to addiction. Addictions discredit God. Addictions, basically, tell us that God is not to be trusted, He doesn't love us all that much, He doesn't know what He is talking about, and we don't have to answer to Him.

    The process of overcoming addiction has three phases. Each phase involves revering God. Every program uses the three phases in one form or another. Reasoning, repenting, and rejoicing are the phases. Transformation in Christ is sought to establish freedom from a selfish lifestyle.

    Turning to God from Idols also includes multiple outlines to help you gain a deeper understanding of the process of overcoming addiction, as well as recommended resources.
