The question that should be asked is, “What Can Be Done?” What the
Christian do about this situation? What can the addict do?
What Can Christians Do?
The Christian should be
willing to talk about this and other subjects. Over the years, topics such as
this have been treated as a “pink elephant in the room.” It is an apparent
problem but the mindset seems to be, “If we ignore it, it will go away.” The
problem with that mindset is that it will only get worse. No one waits until an
infection has set before treating a wound. Why are many willing to wait until a
spiritual problem is worse to discuss it? There is a great important on
preaching and teaching on this subject (2
Tim. 4:2). Parents should be willing to discuss this matter with their
children (Duet. 6:7; Eph. 6:4). Yes,
it is an uncomfortable topic to discuss. Parents know this. If you are not
willing to talk to your children concerning these matters someone else will.
Those individuals may teach your children something completely unbiblical. We
must be willing to discuss these matters.
Christians also need to
be willing to educate themselves concerning these topics. Yes, this is an
uncomfortable topic but what if a friend or loved one comes to you saying, “I
have a problem and I need help”? Will you be able to help them?
