Overview

Biblical Quotes that Expose Addiction covers so much ground that with careful meditation there should be a bit of distance between us and addiction. The more that I study what the Bible says about addiction, the more I am encouraged in both my walk with the Lord and my work for the Lord. As you can see there is a wealth of information that is rarely mentioned in the communities that offer help for overcoming addiction in both Christian and secular settings. I remember after being on crack for several years how I stumbled into a church where the pastor shared straight from the Bible in a support group. I would often wonder how he did it and hoped that I would one day be as skillful as he. I am grateful for those who intentionally speak on addictions from the Bible. I am also grateful for the innumerable quotes that apply to addictions though it was not the speaker's intention. A careful study of the Old Testament reveals issues concerning addictions. We've been fortunately blessed with God-gifted people who can explain. When Jesus came, we gained a greater understanding of God and ourselves. As we gained a greater understanding of God and ourselves, we gained a greater understanding of addictions. Then, once again, God blessed us with people who could explain it. The blessing that Christ spoke of was not just for those who followed Him while He walked on earth, but for those who follow Him since His ascension. But blessed are your eyes, for they see, and your ears, for they hear. For truly, I say to you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it. Matthew 13:16-17 Are there answers to addiction outside of the Bible? You may have noticed that some of the quotes are not directly linked to the Bible. But the answers that we gather about addiction without the Word of God are either inaccurate or incomplete. As I stated in one of my quotes, ""I would settle for nothing less than the Word of God to expose and dispose of addictions."" 2 Timothy 3:16-17 says that the Word of God was given to make us complete. All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 ""This might sound strange, but you don't have to turn to the true God to stop your addiction! I'm sure you've met people who kicked addictions without turning to Christ in repentance and faith. You could probably find strategies that are not Christ-centered that would nevertheless keep you away from alcohol for the rest of your life. But God wants more. He wants us to know Him, serve Him, fear Him, and love Him. Somehow, God must be bigger than our own desires- so big that we worship Him alone."" Addictions: A Banquet in the Grave, Edward T. Welch In an attempt to give you a complete picture of addictions, I have divided the quotes into seven categories. Each of the categories are progressively linked. You might say that Biblical Quotes that Expose Addiction starts with the beginning of addiction (the origin), closes with the end result of addiction (devastation), while covering everything else in between (the nature, depravity, disappointment, deceit and insanity of addiction.)
