I Want to be Like You Dad

We are now living in the age of the co-dependent, the dysfunctional, the disrupted and the destroyed. There is a tremendous battle going on within our society, and especially the family.

We can see how Satan has attempted to destroy the family unit which is the primary institution of God.

Through the various teachings of legalism, Christians have become bound by religious traditions. The extreme behaviors of the past 25 years have been misrepresented as liberty, and have led to severe consequences. We are called to the law of Christ (love) and not legalism which, when applied to one's life, will create the true freedom to become conformed to the fullness of the image of Christ.

If you read almost any periodical, secular or Christian, you will read articles on the dysfunctional life. One can read the acronyms: ACA, (Adult Children of Alcoholics); AA, (Alcoholics Anonymous); NA, (Narcotics Anonymous); ACDF, (Adult Children of Dysfunctional Families), etc., within the Church and on the outside. Researchers claim roughly 90% of the people within the United States suffer from the symptoms of a dysfunctional family, whether they be drug or alcohol related, divorce, separation or abuse.

The truth, as presented so eloquently by Dr. Keith Miller, is that all have sinned, and sin is the greatest addiction that any of us will ever have.

But we have hope... God has provided the answers for us, clearly stated within His Word!
