Paul said in Romans chapter 7, "Wretched man that I am, who will set me free from this body of death? I myself in my mind am serving the law of God, but with my flesh the law of sin." The mind is critical. Romans chapter 8 says, "But the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the spirit is life and peace."

The train diagram in the back of the little booklet called "The Four Spiritual Laws". The illustration is, you see a train running down the track, there's an engine, there's compartment cars and then there's a caboose. All the power is in the engine. You can't pull the train by the compartment car; you can't pull it by the caboose. Well if you think about the engine being fact and the compartment cars as faith and the caboose as feeling, the way we live our Christian life is we put our faith in the facts and then God produces the feelings.

That's the point; wherever I am, I better look to God's word to see what it says about my finances because it says something that will set me free and enable me to bless God and others!

The bottom line is this. Where do you turn when you have a marriage struggle? You turn to Jesus Christ. You turn to the truth of His word. You turn to the help and encouragement of God's people.

When we talk about this issue, where do you turn when you have marriage struggles? We're not talking about some small percentage of the population out there that we who've made it can somehow be equipped to help. We're talking about us; we're talking about all of us. And the answer is the same as I shared with you earlier on all of these. Where do you turn? We turn to Jesus Christ who love us, has a plan for us, made us, died for us, rose again, wants to enter into relationship with us.

We must come out of the darkness into the light. This is what Jesus said in John chapter 3, "This is the verdict. Light has come into the world but men love darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God."

The tendency towards addictive behaviour is the result of being sinful in a sinful world. We're no longer in the garden, we are no longer in perfect fellowship with God and with one another. Sin has distorted our view of God, it's distorted our view of other people, it's distorted our view of ourselves. And so everybody struggles with something. So let's look at what God's word says in terms of some truth considerations and some steps to freedom. Where do you turn when you're stuggling with addicition?

Matthew 11:28-30. Jesus says this, "Come to me all who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me. For I am gentle and humble in heart and you'll find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."

What do we do when something robs us of joy? What do we do when we struggle with depression? What do we do when we struggle with marriage conflict? What do we do when we hit a financial crisis? Where do we turn? We are begining a new series called "Where Do You Turn", and the answer is always in Jesus Christ.
