ATC turns 5 years old this November and God is still Blessing this very special fellowship as an avenue of deliverance and healing for His Children!
Every Tuesday eve @ 7pm we meet to talk about our issues, our hang-ups, our struggles, our addictions, our dysfunctional families - our past hurts & disappointments. And every Tuesday eve @ 7pm God meets us there to give us healing, deliverance, and the answers to the "why's & why nots" of our lives.
We all handle our life experiences in different ways - past or present hurt & dissapointment, betrayal, abuse, bitterness, unforgiveness, anger, loss, lonliness, etc., all serve to shape our thoughts, emotions, and our will. Each of us will experience something that deeply affects and/or alters our present & future perspective of our life. Some of us choose to receive these experiences as stagnating & hindering, while others choose to receive them as opportunities to grow & mature.
The Key to experiencing growth & maturity, instead of stagnation & failure, is to allow adversity to sharpen & polish us into fine gold. And regardless of what the world's beliefs are about self-healing, positive thinking, etc., etc., etc. - there's really only ONE WAY to be totally healed of hurt, totally delivered from life-hindering habits, totally set free from people, places & things, and totally at Peace in our daily life - that ONE WAY is to be Addicted to Christ - the simple, basic Truth!
NO! It's not religion, which is man's fatal attempt to reach God through rules, tradition, guilt or penance. It's not fanatical idol worship of dead things. It's not empty or unreachable promises. And it's not for the sweet-by & by! It's for here & now, TODAY, because tomorrow may be too late!
It's simply a loving relationship with The God who created the whole universe. It's a Father to child relationship with The Father who created us. It's a brother/sister relationship with Jesus which He established from the beginning, and secured with His Blood on the cross. Is there anyone on this earth for whom you would die a tortuous death? Is there anyone who would die a tortuous death for you? Becoming Addicted to Christ is a 1-step choice to a Relationship & life-style which offers freedom from all types of bondage brought on by the pains of our past & present behavior.
So, if you want some real Answers to your questions, if you want a real experience with The Living God who truly loves and cares for you, and if you want to talk to people who've come out of the darkness & pain of addictions, abusive relationships, divorce, broken homes, jail, etc., then you'll want to stop in and experience ATC. You won't leave the same way you came!
Hope to see you soon - B Blessed!
