This material should be of considerable help to those who wish to start a drug and alcohol recovery ministry based on principles of Scripture, rather than on the commonly used “Twelve-Step” pattern based on humanistic philosophy and man’s wisdom. 

We believe that Bible-based One-Step recovery ministries are more effective and successful than programs based on other, weaker foundations, because:

·                God’s wisdom, found in the Bible, is greater than man’s wisdom found in psychological theories; and God’s power to deliver men and women from dependency on chemical substances is greater than the weakness of the counsel of men.

 

·                God’s gospel of Jesus Christ, the Savior, can free men not only from chemical addiction, but from every form of bondage to destructive patterns of behavior that arise from the fleshly, natural, fallen old human nature that all men start out with.

 

·                God’s Son, Jesus Christ, delivers not only from bondage to the flesh and sin and death, but to the glorious liberty of the sons of God, new life as a new creation on earth, and eternal life with God and Christ in Heaven. Psychology, philosophy, “good ideas” and twelve-step programs cannot.

We hope and pray that you will use this material bathed in prayer, empowered by the Holy Spirit, and bringing the mighty truth of God’s word to needy people in the name and love of Jesus Christ.
