Addictions are man’s attempt to fill the soul’s lonesome void where God has been excluded or reduced to mere religion. Vices, whether socially acceptable or Serving Our Community not, will never satisfy that place Since 1956 in the human heart where God was meant to dwell. The only One who can satisfy the human heart is the One who created it. For He satisfies the longing soul, and the hungry soul He fills with good things. – psalm 107:9
