Drugs and alcohol—two highly dangerous substances—have hundreds of people under their grip, as their slaves. What starts as a mere relief given by drugs or alcohol is soon turned into habit and with time, into addiction. To free individuals from their clutches and help them to lead normal, problem-free lives, drug and alcohol Treatment centers exist.Some centers which are dedicated in their efforts to bring a change in the drug-addicted lives of people include the following: Able to Change Recovery, Brookside Institute, The Bridge to Recovery, Burning Tree Ranch, Choices, Recovery Center, CMR Recovery Residence, Newport Coast Recovery, Connor Ranch, Sober Living By The Sea Treatment Centers, Drug

than to our own needs and desires. Yielding to anyone, including God, requires humility.

Humility is also necessary to recognize and admit that we can’t make it on our own. Facing a seemingly impossible situation, Jehoshaphat recognized his lack of power and wisdom and in humility fasted and prayed. God honored his humility and caused him to be victorious (2 Chron. 20).

In Mourning for the Google Cash System
Do you remember when you could pick an affiliate program, hustle up a few hundred keywords toss it all into your Adwords account & wait for the commissions. No me neither! I was busy doing something else during those glory days.If it ever was that easy it certainly isn't any more, there's a lot of competition & intense bidding for keywords. There are big corporations bidding on anything that moves & paying tens of thousands of dollars every month for number one listings.Just in case you weren't getting the message. Google changed the rules. Now Google will only list one ad for each domain name in any given set of results. If you've ever searched for something obscure and found three or fou

I have a confession to make: I love to eat! Because of that, fasting, the voluntary abstinence from food, is a discipline I used to avoid. I’ve found I’m not alone in my aversion to fasting. In fact, it is perhaps the most neglected of all the disciplines.

Some believers neglect fasting because they consider it to be optional. I know I’ve been guilty of this. I’ve often gone for months without giving any thought to fasting. But when we read the words of Jesus in Matt. 6:16, it’s obvious He expects fasting to be a normal part of our lives. He says, when, not if you fast. Other believers avoid fasting because they don’t understand its purpose. Most of us neglect fasting because it is just plain hard.

Fasting is nothing new. In fact, it was practiced in both the Old and New Testaments. Even Jesus spent extended time in fasting and prayer.

Some people fear that fasting will make them “odd for God.” Personally I don’t mind being odd for God, but that’s not the purpose of fasting! Although there are many reasons to fast, I’m going to look at only four: humility, repentance, guidance, and strength.

HUMILITY

Throughout the scriptures, God requires His people to humble themselves (Mt. 18:4, Mt. 23:12, James 4:10, and 1 Peter 5:6). Fasting is one way to do so (Ps. 35:13). Fasting demonstrates humility in the same way that kneeling or being “on our face” before God does.

When we fast, we surrender one of our most basic needs: food. We make a conscious decision to yield to God and His desires rather than to our own needs and desires. Yielding to anyone, including God, requires humility.

Alcohol Abuse
There is nothing like a tall cold glass of lager or Scotch on rocks to toast an occasion or to nurse a grievance. The average age when Americans initiate their intimacy with alcohol is calculated at 15 years. If one works out the volume guzzled daily as an expression of dissent, impulsiveness or sensationalism, it is a concern.When does alcohol turn unpleasant? According to governmental guidelines three to four units per day for men and two to three units per day for women is the desired maximum intake. This is also subjective to health and other related problems including medicinal intake. The problem begins when alcohol is combined with drugs or we become alcohol dependent due to health, person

REPENTANCE

Fasting can be in response to our grief over sin and can demonstrate a desire to repent and make things right with God. In 1 Samuel 7:6, the Israelites confessed their sins, then showed their repentance through fasting. Fasting goes hand in hand with weeping, mourning and repentance, and was given as a command to God’s people in Joel 2:12.

GUIDANCE

We all have times when we simply don’t know what to do. In the most serious of those times, I’ve found fasting to be a great help to me. In Judges 20, eleven of the tribes of Israel readied themselves for a battle against the tribe of Benjamin. They sought the Lord before going into battle, and should have had no problem defeating them—they outnumbered the Benjamites fifteen to one. Nevertheless, they failed. The next day they prepared for battle not only with prayer, but also with weeping before the Lord. In spite of that, they once again lost the battle. Finally, they decided to seek God’s guidance not only through prayer and tears, but through fasting as well. God then spoke to them clearly, showed them His will and consequently gave them victory.

STRENGTH

Only through the power of the Holy Spirit can we live the life God calls us to. And in order for His power to be working through us, our carnal nature, which is dominated by our thoughts, feelings and desires, must be subjected to Him. In 1 Cor. 9:27, Paul talks about beating his body and making it his slave. He realized that if he was going to finish the race set before him, his flesh

Everyone has a favorite rut or two. They are comfortable, familiar and undemanding. If you stay in them long enough you begin to equate them with who you are and buy in to the belief that remaining steadfastly in them is all you can expect out of life. However, when you are in a groove, you are able to create and see things differently. Where are you right now—in a groove or a rut? If you wish to know more and how you can tell the difference and what to do about it, read on.

Pathology, the study of disease, is a postdoctoral medical specialty that dates back to the 19th century. By the latter half of the 20th century, pathologists began branching out into individual subspecialties. It was not until 1959 that forensic pathology became a board-certified specialty.
