In my early days in recovery my mantra was You get what you need not what you want! Recovery is not God as I understand Him, but rather dealing with who He actually is. The Devil is who you want to understand Him to be. God is who he says He is. God tells the truth deal with it and Live. The devil lies. Follow him and die forever. He will tell you …

If you live at the junction of Faith and Recovery there is one elephant in the room. The elephant is God as I understand Him. The secular argument is about what difference it makes. Does God have a complex? If we take a liberal attitude to God then maybe some suffering person will feel free to come and get sober. This is reasonable on the surface. …

Both faith and Recovery are like gardens. Both grow crops of fruits. In AA the crops are sober people and sober healthy lives. In faith, the crop is people who are free in faith and lead a life of liberty and service. But like a garden, these groups have to tend their patch of land. The tending depends on protecting by weeding the invasive plants. …
