    As we meet God on our journey, he changes us and the reaction is to bring others to him.

    Step 12 – Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics, and to practice these principles in all our affairs. <Read the scripture> John 4:1-26, 39-42 Personally, I love the story of the Samaritan woman at the well. It is such a ...read more

    Why talk about recovery? Well, The 12 steps are based on biblical principles and were written at a time when the AA group was associated with teachings of a now defunct Christian organization called the Oxford Group.

    Why the Twelve Steps and the Bible?? It makes sense because 1) 12 steps are based on biblical principles and were written at a time when the AA group was associated with teachings of a now defunct Christian organization called the Oxford Group. This group was founded by Sam Shoemaker at the ...read more

    The way in which we approach God matters because it demonstrates our our willingness to change, honest awareness of who we are as well as shows our open-mind about the fact that God is the better way.

    Step 7: Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings Read the Scripture James 4: 1-10 He gives us more grace. That is why scripture says: “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he ...read more

    Christian 12 Steps

    Recently I had a witnessing opportunity with an alcoholic who wanted nothing to do with Jesus but was devoted to the "god as we understand him" promoted in the 12 step program. This is a closer look at those steps and how they compare to Scripture.

    Recount the interaction between the alcoholic and me at the dinner we were catering with Barb in Collins Center. He was drunk He did not want to hear about Jesus He kept referring to "god as I understand him" 12 Steps of AA (written in the past tense for some reason) 1) "We admitted we were ...read more

    1. Openly recognize wrong deeds to be wrong deeds. 2. Recognize that your anger is not only normal but necessary. (Jesus, “after looking around at them with anger” Mark 3: 5; “Be angry, and yet do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger.” Ephesians 4: 26) 3. Realize how ongoing ...read more

     | 3,944 views

    Step Three: Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God, as we understood Him.., is how it reads but what it means is: “If anyone wishes to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.”

    I love the smells and sounds of spring: spring rain, cut grass and people rooting for or playing one of the many spring summer sports. However, I also remember the pain of one fateful night. You see, I loved to play softball. It was always a blast but I’m competitive. On this night, I tried to ...read more

    Step eight comes across as a fairly easy step at first glance. I only need to transfer my list of people, places and things from step 5 and be willing to change. The “big book” offers all of three sentences so maybe it is that easy. NOT!

    For it is God who works in you to will and act in order to fulfill every good purpose. The words "Came to believe" mean that we are trusting in God’s promise to restore all His creation to himself for a life time.

    Step 2: Came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity Scripture: Phil 2:13: For it is God who works in you to will and act in order to fulfill every good purpose.

    Step Four is the stethoscope for what really ails us. The next steps are the cure. So are you ready to do your inventory?

    The reality is all people have a problem with really getting honest. Honest with others and honest with ourselves. It’s probably the reason God has so much to say about in His Big Book the bible. Here are just a few quotes about taking an inventory from the Bible… (See sheet) In addition to ...read more

    Step Nine - Not Saying I'm Sorry? Series

    Contributed by Robert Butler on Jan 8, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,860 views

    Step 9 is making direct amends except when to do so would injure those or others. It’s also the place the writers tell us of the promises come true when one earnestly works the steps of recovery.

    I have been thinking about Step nine over the last few days. I really think the writers knew how much humility and courage it takes to do a 9th step amends and it’s the reason, they made sure the other steps of getting right with oneself and then God came before reconciling with others. Step 9 is ...read more

    Opening of a series on the 12 Steps as a Spiritual Discipline

    25 years ago this past fall, I bought my first car. It was a 1976 Chevy Vega. I loved it. Now my parents had found one of those AMC Pacers in Ohio (remember those, looked like an egg and had lots of glass) but I did not want one of them as unique as they were. So my parents came to Illinois to help ...read more

    This step and all the steps are based on the fact that God is alive and capable of revealing himself as he truly is through a personal relationship with Him and others in a group of people or a community of faith.

    Step 11: Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God, as we understood Him, praying only for the knowledge of His Will for us and the power to carry that out.
