The purpose of this is not to bash specific programs or those who attend, but rather to highlight the subtle deception of the enemy and offer a definitive and permanent solution. I've traveled a lot the last couple of years; visiting addict recovery programs to love on the participants, encouraging attendees in their journey, and hearing testimonies of those who've been members for years, sometimes decades.

Being Heavenly Minded Makes You Earthly Good
You may have heard it; "Don't be so heavenly minded that you're no earthly good." For lack of a more eloquent curiosity, "What in tarnation does that even mean?" Not only is it not scriptural; it's the exact opposite of what God says. Even more disheartening is that it's believers and leaders in the body of Christ who have this mentality. Christians trying to be more earthly minded is the precise reason why too many of their lives are in the condition they're in. Being heavenly minded is what God tells us to be; it's the crux of what causes us to actually be of earthly good.
Why We Can't be Mad at Others for What They Have
As a parent, let's say you come home with a bag full of toys; five toys for each of your children. You call them all in, tell them you have gifts for them then you stand back and watch as they eagerly select and play with them. However, one of your children doesn't take all of their toys; instead, they examine what the other kids have, become aware they don't have as many then get mad because their brothers and sisters have more.
Are You Blessing to Be Blessed?
Many believers often administer the phrase, "we're blessed to be a blessing"; and while that's true, being a blessing always comes second. As children of God, we are first and foremost blessed because our Father loves us, and He loves to give good gifts to his children.
