Are you tempted beyond your power to resist?
There is no question that addictions soil our souls, eventually taking control of our lives. The energy and motivation needed to serve the cause of Christ gets badly short-changed. That’s the bad news.
Here’s the good news. Biblical Christianity provides a way to rise up from this quicksand: Waiting! Learning to eagerly wait for the Lord’s return is essential to overcoming the root demand beneath all addictions. But the choice to wait is easy to state but hard to make because arranging for a temporary and counterfeit experience quiets the demand of our tired and thirsty souls.
While there is no path to walk that eliminates the struggle to resist temptation we can be moving into greater freedom from it every day. As we learn to wait eagerly for heaven when all our longings will be fully and forever satisfied, we will be inclined to live for one central reason: to make this life work as we want it to. Two things will then happen:
One, we will find ourselves driven by self-centeredness, by an addictive concern for our own felt well-being;
Two, whatever either numbs our discontent with things as they are or provides a convincing sense of satisfaction for our deeply felt longings will lead us toward addictions of any available variety, all fueled by a core addiction to self. Waiting for heaven to provide everything our souls yearn for, demanding nothing now, frees us to love well now, to delight God and to be there for others, requiring nothing in return.
The result? Joy! The satisfaction of living and loving like Jesus.

Forever change the way you look at the Bible . . . and your own life
Have you ever read the Bible only to come away confused? Ever wondered if God actually had you in mind when He began telling His story?
Though life may not be going according to your plan, God has another one, far better than you can imagine. From Genesis to Revelation, experience His invitation to get you dancing with joy.
In 66 Love Letters Larry Crabb offers a fresh, relational look at Scripture:
“When you finish reading my first love letter to you, I want you to realize that I never underestimated how thoroughly you’d mess up your life or how painfully you would struggle and suffer, and I don’t want you to underestimate your failures or struggles either. They’re all part of the story I’m telling. “But neither have I underestimated my determination or ability to enter both the mess you’ve made and the pain you feel, then turn everything around. I can, and I will, make everything good again. Never underestimate me.”
Larry’s intimate conversation with God asks deeply honest questions such as:
- “God, what is it you wanted me to see in Obadiah?”
- “And what’s up with Leviticus? Is there anything there for me?”
- “This one verse in Galatians has always frustrated me. Why is that?”
- “The way you wrote Revelation makes it difficult to understand—why didn’t you just describe what will happen in a straightforward way?”
Listen to the story of God unfold through these chapters, and you’ll fi nd not only His redeeming love but His plan and provision designed especially for you.

Redemptive Conversations | Session 4
Is it possible to have conversations that really matter?
Conversations that stir the deepest longing in our soul, our longing for God?
Conversations that cooperate with the Spirit’s desire to form us into the image of Christ?
Conversations in which the Cross is not optional but necessary to make us into the people we long to be?
Too many conversations leave the depths of our souls untouched. Too many conversations unknowingly hinder the Spirit’s movement to transform us into the image of Christ. It could be different. More is available to everyday Christians. You are invited to explore the possibilities through the recordings of a one day seminar.
Join Anthony Vartuli, pastor of Trinity Church of Centennial, CO as he discusses what it would mean to seize the very real opportunities made available by the Holy Spirit to transform our ordinary dialogs into redemptive conversations. Joining Anthony will be his long-time mentor, Larry Crabb, who deeply believes in the Spirit’s work at Trinity Church and who will also have some time to share his thoughts on redemptive conversations.

Puzzling Personalities
Men who provoke curiosity pant after God, admit their own sin and follow hard after God. Larry used the Passover, Deuteronomy 6 instructions to fathers, and Joshua 4 instructions about the twelve stones to drive home his point.
