After looking at the 8+ pages of notes that I took this Sunday, I was pretty much over whelmed.<\/p>\n<p>Then my mind got around to addictions and how they affect just about everyone. It doesn&#8217;t matter how big or small they may be, we are all affected by some sort of addiction in our lives. We can actually become addicted to the messages that we get in church and the feelings that we get from receiving these messages.<\/p>\n<p>I looked up the\u00a0definition\u00a0of addiction for this post and it is as follows:<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>&#8220;the state of being enslaved to a habit or practice or to something that is\u00a0psychologically or physically habit-forming, such as narcotics, to such an extent that its cessation causes severe trauma.&#8221;<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s take a look at some of the things that we could be addicted to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Television<\/li>\n<li>Gossip<\/li>\n<li>Drugs &#8211; Legal or illegal<\/li>\n<li>Facebook<\/li>\n<li>Pornography<\/li>\n<li>Cigarettes<\/li>\n<li>Alcohol<\/li>\n<li>Sports<\/li>\n<li>Hustle and bustle of life<\/li>\n<li>Personal Development information<\/li>\n<li>Religious messages<\/li>\n<li>Sex<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div>This is just a short list of things that we may have in our lives that if we went for a short period time without that we might have some sort of trauma in our lives.<\/div>\n<div>So why is important now to address these addictions in our lives, NOW?<\/div>\n<div>Well with all of the trouble that is brewing all over the world, we are going to be strong people for those around us but if we have issues with addictions in our lives, we are going to be very limited as to the help that we are going to be able to provide.<\/div>\n<div>Not only that but from a spiritual standpoint, when we are shackled by addiction, our focus is on OUR needs and not the needs of others. By having these limiting addictions in our lives, we are constantly focusing on our needs instead of looking for ways to be of service to others.<\/div>\n<div>This is a horrible postion to be in.<\/div>\n<div>I have been marketing a system that has been helping people break free from limiting habits for several years, you can find it at <a title=\"Lee Milteer's Habit Busting System\" href=\"http:\/\/www.habitbustingsystem.com\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.habitbustingsystem.com<\/a><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Don&#8217;t be fooled by how small you think your habit may be, anything that can hold you back could be detrimental to your life and the lives of those around you.<\/p>\n<p>As Always, Here&#8217;s to Your LifetoSuccess,<\/p>\n<p>God Bless You,<\/p>\n<p>John Clark<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our pastor has been pounding it pretty unmercifully recently in church&#8230; the need to remove sin from our lives and getting closer to God.
