Addictions, A Christian Perspective

The amount of money spent in treatment centers for addictions in America is on the rise. Either more people are falling into addictions or more people are educating themselves about addictions and seeking help. I believe the second idea is closer to the truth. Also professional counselors have classified more kinds of behaviors as addictions than before. Now it seems we can be addicted to anything, food, sex, the Internet and a whole host of things that can become the objects of compulsive behavior. It is clear that humans can become compulsive about anything and believe that any person, state of mind or inanimate object is necessary for us to be at ease within our minds. The articles below will examine some basic issues related to addictions and offer the beginning of God’s solutions for believers who struggle with addictive behaviors.
