Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Why Not Get High! explains the reason that we surrender to addiction. And yet, Why Not Get High! makes a distinction between reasons and excuses. Why Not Get High! is a supplement to Quality Sobriety. Why Not Get High! initially draws your attention to the value of reverencing God as the prima…ry motive for abstaining from addiction. Why Not Get High! goes beyond self-seeking motives for developing a sober life. And yet, Why Not Get High! explains that self-preservation can be either reverential towards God or selfish. Why Not Get High! will help you to explore some of the aspects of addiction/sobriety that are often neglected but ironically crucial. Why Not Get High! is divided into three parts. The first part is an explanation of why we are prone to addiction. The second part is why addictions are not to be embraced. The third part is God's way of resolving addiction. Though seldom mentioned, Why Not Get High reveals how there are only four responses to addictions and only one has God's approval. Part One of Why Not Get High! explains the difference between healthy and unhealthy euphoria. I'll show you the faith that we place in addictions. Why I get high can be explained by how I am deceived by Satan. Hence, there is faulty reasoning is beyond our justification of addiction. I will also reveal the unpleasantness of the dishonesty and wicked imaginations behind every addiction. As addictions are sought out of dissatisfaction they lead to more dissatisfaction. Yet and still, we are motivated by our dedication to addictions. It is the awe of euphoria that drives us. Awe can be sane when it is directed towards God. The awe of addiction is insane. This is the stronghold that addictions possess. This is what has the potential of hardening our hearts. That's why every addictions is selfish. Part Two of Why Not Get High! gives you sound reasons for not indulging in addiction. Self-concern can either be honoring to God or just selfish. Another reason for abstaining from addiction is reasoning itself. God reasons with us through consequences as well as other methods. The consequences of idolatry from the Scriptures are relative to addictions. While the judgment of God is a consequence of addiction for some, His discipline is a consequence for others. The discipline of God is how He molds and shapes His vessels. Judgment is how He disposes of what will anyway be contrary to His nature. Since the nature of addictions must be revealed for us to thoroughly and accurately handle addiction, we must consider our ways. We begin to understand how unbecoming addictions are to us as God reasons with us. The Scriptures give tremendous insight into the nature of addiction as revealed within the nature of idolatry. The sobriety of loving God undermines addiction. As we develop the love that Jesus has for the Father, we are transformed. Transformation is the result of practicing our response to God just as we practiced response to addictions. In our transformation we become useful to God and others It is in loving God that we love others. All of the components of Part Two provide us with conviction (we are convinced.) In Part Three of Why Not Get High! I have explained the simple formula for sobriety that has been in existence since the beginning of time. The three basics of reverential sobriety are where pride is stripped, God rules, and joy overwhelms. Look closely and you will find this in any program for treating addictions in one form or another. Where either is lacking in any degree determines the effectiveness of the program. This item is printed on demand.
