JEFFREY COTHRAN -- "NO MORE WASTED TIME"

 

Jeffrey posted this yesterday on his Facebook page. Recovery has given him an honesty to see himself and reflect on his journey to where he is today. Very grateful for his words, his life and his commitment to working the steps.

So you live day to day

And you dream about tomorrow

And the hours go by like minutes

And the shadows come to stay

So you take a little something

To make them go away

FAMILIAR SHADOWS

I look back at my past.

Hopeless feeling had a strong hold.

I tried to outrun the darkness.

Just to ramble right back into familiar shadows.

Running in the shadows seemed a refuge.

Every form of refuge has its price.

And addiction taxes heavy.

I actually hate this picture of me.

I had already started losing facial hair (notice my beard) as the result of the stresses of my heavy drug use.

Not long after this picture, I lost all my hair.

Eyes brows and eye lashes too.

On the other side of this picture,

is the saddest part to me.

On the other side of this picture, was my oldest son, as he told me not long ago, praying that his daddy would get out of jail in time for Christmas.

Yeah, I hate this picture.

But it tells my story.

I get it man, it’s so hard to change.

Once those shadows close in.

Those shadows are obnoxious and alien.

Those shadows are also subtle and familiar.

They reclaimed ownership of me.

Time after time.

The high escape from the lowdown.

Insanity wins again.

The way it was explained to me,

and I’ve used this example before:

Say you had a house with many problems.

Plumbing, electrical, leaking roof, paint pealing, and the house is also on fire.

What’s the first thing you should do in addressing each of these problems?

Put out the fire, right?

I ain’t the one to give advice.

But I do have a suggestion.

Put out the fire first.

Stop using the dope.

As addicts we have many problems.

Hence the plumbing, electrical, leaking roof, and paint pealing examples.

But the most pressing problem is we continue to put those chemicals in.

The house is on fire.

If we can successfully stop and put out the fire (cessation of drugs) our mind and body can start healing to the point that we can become mentally capable of dealing with all of our many other problems.

To the one currently in the shadows.

To the one that identifies with those

dead eyes of mine in that mugshot.

Stop putting in.

That is the first step.

If you need some help, reach out.

There are places that can help.

There are people that can help.

If you are in the surrounding Tuscaloosa area, message me, we have a meeting on the West Side tonight at 6:00.

We would love to have someone like you.

With all you know and how you speak.

We do recover.

You can “leave it alone.”

I remember what you told me

Before you went out on your own

Sometimes to keep it together

You gotta leave it alone

One day at a time

CROSSROADS MEANS DECISIONS

 

Jermiah 6:16-17 - This is what the Lord says, "Stop at the crossroads and look around. Ask for the old, godly way, and walk in it. Travel the path, and you will find rest for your souls."

But you reply, "No, that is not the road we want!" I posted watchmen over you who said, listen for the sound of the alarm." But you replied, "No! We won't pay attention!"

The human heart is a mysterious thing. When I refer to heart, I am speaking of the "core center" of who we are. The will, the intellect, emotion and mental as well as spirit. The place that influences our decisions and the choices we make. Especially those that lead to destruction.

I am not going to get into all the aspects of addiction. I know that brain chemistry is altered sometimes. I know that those who live in this maddening darkness also are driven by the dark desire for more of what they crave. But the bottom line is how can someone look at the results of what addiction does, knowing full well that they are headed down that same path, and then choose to follow it.

Throw in this little bit of information to the mix. Some people stubbornly do not want to quit. They will tell you upfront that they have no desire to stop, even though they know how this train ride is going to end. That is the baffling part to me.

I know that we read in II Corinthians 2:4 where the god of this world, Satan, has blinded the minds of those who don't believe. In other words, their thoughts and choices are influenced and directed by the flesh, or what I refer to as our old sin/addiction nature. 

Bringing correction to those who live in this manner is not about getting them to see what your saying. Or trying to come at the them with an answer to their argument of why they won't change. The answer is found in praying for God's Holy Spirit to uncover their blindness and open their hearts to the truth. For some reason we believe that we can intellectually bring someone to see things our way. While they may say that they do, if the heart isn't changed as only the Holy Spirit can do, then they will continue to live under the dark cloud of addiction.

Let me say real quick that I am not an expert on these matters. What I know has come from years of interacting with others who are struggling. I have seen the power of the Holy Spirit bring a person to their knees, crying out for God to save them. I have seen the power of the Holy Spirit sober up a hard user instantly. It happened so quickly that it frightened them so bad they didn't know what had hit them.

All addiction stems from one problem. SIN! Did I really say this? Yes I did. The one thing we always looked too during my time at Rapha was that people didn't really have a substance problem. In other words, it wasn't the drugs or alcohol that was the problem. The problem came from a broken relationship with Christ. This was the reason that a person turned to substances for relief from the world.

Pray for family and friends that are still out there in this hellish darkness we call addiction. Pray for a move of the Holy Spirit over this person, and don't stop praying. Pray for the Spirit to break down every barrier that keeps the light of God from coming to their hearts. Don't stop praying!!

God on you...

EYES ON JESUS----RUN THE RACE IN FRONT OF YOU

 

Hebrews 12:1
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles , and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.

This passage of Scripture from Hebrews describes a life spent in following Jesus, as being like a foot race. The main point we should see is that we are called to "run light". We are told to "Throw off everything that hinders us"....those things that distract us....take our attention away from what is important...we've got to get rid of them. Next we are instructed to rid ourselves of the "sin" which so easily entangles us. The idea here is those things ( behaviors and and attitudes) which seek to slow us in our journey, and even stop us or sidetrack us, we need to rid ourselves of such. 

Question # 1 - Think about what things have hindered you in moving forward in your relationship with Jesus.

Romans 13:14
But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision (or room) for the flesh, to fulfill the lust that may rise up in you.
When the verse says "Make no provision", it means give if a place in your thoughts. Don't allow every thought that comes to your mind to just roll around in your brain. Why? Because if I allow a thought to gain access to my focus, then it becomes a larger desire. The desire then captures my attention, which, if left unchecked, has the potential for me to act on it.  Now, don't get me wrong in what I'm writing. You CANNOT STOP A THOUGHT FROM ENTERING YOUR MIND!!!! But you don't have to entertain such things.

If we allow these old thoughts access, we will inevitably find ourselves giving in during a time of weakness. Did you notice that the Romans 13 passage instructs us to "PUT ON" the Lord Jesus? Whenever I read this passage, for some reason I think of a very thick overcoat. Something that I put on to protect me against the weather. Well, when I am hidden in Christ, and I keep myself aware of being this way, hidden, then I am protected against whatever may come to me. 

As I run this life-race, and my focus remains on Christ, my heart and intent or strengthened so that when a temptation comes to me, I fully realize my own weakness and turn to Christ rather than embrace the temptation.
You see, this whole recovery thing isn't about being strong. It isn't about being able to stand and weather every wind of temptation and craving that comes my way....it's about being in touch with my weakness, and running to Christ.....turning to Christ when the temptation comes. 

II Corinthians 5:17
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come.

John 10:10
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I have come that they may have life, and have  it to the full  (or abundant).

Don't allow the "little" thoughts a place, so that they turn into big sins....
God on you..

TRUTH REVEALED BY A CROWING ROOSTER

 

Matthew 26:34 - Jesus said to him, "Truly I say to you that this very night, before a rooster crows, you will deny me three times."

Jesus, in his conversation with Peter, brings some truth that none of us would have loved to have heard. It was like someone throwing ice water into Peter's face. In fact Jesus' was responding to a statement that Peter had made. A statement that came from the flesh and not the spirit. Peter (and I'm sure he believed this statement) said that he would never turn his back on Jesus. It's hard to read this and see it as Peter bragging, or does he truly believe that he would never deny Christ. No matter which it was, Jesus was proven true. Peter denied Christ....not once or twice but three times. What pain Peter must have felt when he heard that rooster crow. All that Jesus had told him was now an uncovering of Peter's heart as the last of the rooster's crows died in echo's that faded away.

The sound of the crowing rooster faded, but the pain of Peter's denial would not go away. It pierced his heart like the nails that pierced the skin of Jesus. These events that we read in Scripture have always haunted me. Maybe that is not the best word to use, haunt, but when I read them I am made well aware of the potential that lives within me. The potential to deny Christ if I give it free reign in my heart. The potential to simply turn and walk away from everything. Knowing that this is a part of me, is the reason that I keep my focus on Him. Knowing that this is a part of me is the reason that I admit my own powerlessness and hopelessness as I cling to Christ for strength. Such is why I keep pressing on each day because I do not want to give room or an opportunity for this darkness to rise up. 

As the old hymn says..."Jesus, keep me near the cross!" It is there that my brokenness is healed and I am made whole. It is at the cross that the things of this world fade away and the things of heaven become a reality. It is at the cross that the tattered and torn places of my life are laid down so that I may embrace a new life in Him. And it is at the cross that I lift my head and cry out "VICTORY!" over the ruler of this age....the god of this world. Victory because my life has been sealed by the Holy Spirit of God. Does this mean that I will be free of pain and suffering as I walk out my days here on this earth? No, not by a long shot. I think old Paul said it best when he wrote in Philippians 4:13...."I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." What Paul was really saying is that he can face whatever comes his way because Christ is his strength. Christ is all he needs to make it to the end of his life. You know what? I don't think things have changed since Paul made that statement. Christ is all I need. Christ is all you need. Let's spend the day thinking on this. Let's allow this truth to wrap itself around our brain and our heart, getting it all deep inside of us.

God on you...

OBEDIENCE PUTS US IN THE RIGHT PLACE ---AT THE RIGHT TIME

 

We talk a lot about recovery and living a clean and sober life.
There is so much more to recovery than the absence of alcohol and drugs.
Meeting and connecting with people who are like minded will aid us as we seek to move from our old lifestyle.
Changes of people, places and things can be hard because the old addictive lifestyle is all we have known.

As we take each day as it comes, to live out the principals of recovery we should be very much aware of something.
Not only is it important to develop our relationship with Jesus, but be obedient.
Being obedient includes being where we are suppose to be, doing what we are suppose to be doing.

In Genesis 22, we read the story of God calling Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac.
Isaac isn't just any child. He is the son of promise.
He is the first child born to Abraham and Sarah and as such, Isaac is the promise from God through which many descendants will come. Now here is God telling (notice this...telling, not asking) Abraham to take Isaac off into the country and sacrifice him. Abraham is obedient.

We are not told what went on in Abraham's mind, which is another story unto itself.
I believe what we learn from this is that God isn't interested in what goes on in our minds as much as he is what goes on in our hearts.

Abraham obeyed.
Completing the journey, he built and altar.....placed the wood on it......and placed his son on the altar.
Knife raised ready to sacrifice Isaac, the Angel of the LORD called to him and said, "Do not lay your hand upon the lad, or do anything to him."
Abraham was shown that nearby, stuck in a thicket, was a ram that was to be used for the sacrifice.
Abraham named the place where he was to sacrifice Isaac  YIREH or The-LORD-will-provide.
When we are occupying the place and life God has called us to, and we are being obedient to God, He will provide for us whatever it is we need.

This isn't some fairy tale or myth, this is the cold hard truth of the Kingdom of God.
Turning from a life that is all we have known, and then walking daily in a new way is scary. IT can be overwhelming at times and we find ourselves being in such fear that the thought of giving up and going back to the darkness is enticing. Don't! Don't give up. Keep walking...keep praying...keep listening....the fear will leave and God's peace will come because you are being obedient.

Every child of God needs to understand the The-LORD-will-provide is still as real today as it was that day for Abraham. Do not be afraid...Be Strong.......Let God guide you through this unknown in your life today.

Father.....
I come to you this morning asking that you manifest yourself in our lives today.
Give us ears to hear you this morning. Give us eyes to see your hand on us as we walk through this day.
Help us Lord to find the place of provision and let us not grow weary at the journey, but that you would strengthen our feet. Grant us your grace today and for anyone who reads this posting and is without hope, would you break off the darkness of this world from their mind and heart and allow your healing grace to flood over them. Draw them to yourself and bring healing to them.
Thank you Father....
In Jesus Name....
Amen..

God on you.....

DO YOU?

 Proverbs 3:5 -Trust in the Lord with all your heart..........

II Corinthians 5:7
Walk by Faith and not by sight

How quick we are to talk about our trust and our faith. We may not do so in a bragging way, but it does find it's way into conversations among believers.

What is it we have had to trust God for?
Where has our walk taken us that we truly have to move by his direction and not by what our senses and feelings tell us?
Have we trusted God for our lives? Have we been in a situation where there are no answers to what we are facing, yet without God's intervention, we would not make it?

These are things that are stirring in me right now.
How easy I say I trust, when I haven't been tested to the point of falling completely on Him.
How easy I say I walk by faith when my own faith seems so shallow and empty.
I'm not asking God to put me in situations that require me to "fish or cut bait" so to speak. But I know that a time is coming when we all are going to find out whether what we truly believe is true or not.

I am not going to sit here and make bold statements about what I would or wouldn't do for God.
I talked with a young man who made the statement to me that "He wanted to die for Jesus because that would be so cool." I reminded him that living for Jesus was what He desired, not our death. Living for Jesus is so much harder than checking out to God. Really, like Peter in John 21, we are all approaching the age where we will be led around by the hand. We don't get to make the call of what we will or will not do. All we can say is, "Here am I, send me!"

There is so much in the air right now what with revival/renewal news, the oil situation, food shortages. I look to the amplified Bible for it's definition of trust; To cling to, rely on, adhere to, believe in......to us as believer's it means a rejection of the world and the way it does business and a total laying hold of God. Being found "in" Jesus, as a means of following His direction.

Trust....
Cling to....
Walk by faith....
Not just fancy words that give us hope.
Our hope is not found in words....
But rather in THE WORD.
The Christ Jesus.
As Larry Norman so aptly put it, "The world is in a mess, I wonder who began it. Don't ask me, my friend, I'm only visiting this planet.

God on you.......

THE SUFFICIENCY OF CHRIST

 

II Corinthians 12:9
And He (God) said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness."

What do you do when life rips the cover off of your "Christianity" and shows you the reality of pain and sorrow? What do you do when there aren't any answers to wrong that has come to you? Where do you turn when it feels like someone has punched you in the gut and you're just sick to your stomach?

Such is life.....
Life happens.....
It rains on the just and the unjust....
The sun shines down on the righteous and the unrighteous....
I'm not trying to list platitudes that we've all heard before, but the truth is as long as we live on this side of heaven, we are all going to deal with situations that seemingly have no fairness to them.
SO what do we do?
When these hard times come to us, we need to realize that the real "US" comes out. What we truly believe about God and life will come together and reveal itself to our hearts. If we have played at church and pretended to be a Christian, that will be uncovered for what it is. Not always pleasant to go through such, but necessary for us to grow. By the way, we either grow in Him, or we shrivel up and die spiritually. 

James 1:2-3 (The Message Bible)
Consider it a sheer gift, friends, when test and challenges come at you from all sides You know that under pressure, your faith life is forced into the open and shows its true colors. 
I don't believe that for one instant God directs pain and suffering to us. I do believe that He understands that it is a part of life, and when it does come to us, He wants us to turn to Him. Not necessarily for answers to the "Why", but for comfort and growing in our faith to trust Him.

The one other thing I have to remind myself of, is that when I do go through these dark times, no matter how painful they are, not matter how crushing the situation, God always.......hear this.....God always covers it with His mercy to keep it from being as terrible as it could be. I know it may not seem like it, but trust me on this one. I know.

I want to close today's posting with a video from John Piper.
The subject may seem a bit odd since I wrote about suffering and the presence of God, but at the end of the video, John talks about the sufficiency of Christ. This is where I want to plant my flag. On the truth that no matter what life hands me, He is all sufficient to see me through...........even to the other side of eternity. If you remember anything today....plant your hope...plant your faith....plant your very life on the truth that no matter what you may be facing ....with Christ, He will see you through.
I love you all and I appreciate each and every one of you.

God on you...

SUNDAY NIGHT @ CATALYST CHURCH

Sunday @ Catalyst ReCovery 

Click on link above and it will take you to last night's recovery meeting @ Catalyst church. 
It was good for me to return here and share with the group. Saw a lot of old familiar faces, and go a chance to catch up on the what's been happening with everyone. 
Some were doing well........Some were struggling........some asked for prayer......but the bottom line was THEY WERE AT A MEETING. At least they were putting themselves in a position to here some truth and sit under the influence of the Holy Spirit. Change was available to them if they were willing to open up their hearts and let God do His work.

The leadership of Catalyst Recovery is an incredible group of folks. This really is the heart of any recovery meeting that is successful. People who come week after week to give themselves to the vision of reaching out the those who are still struggling with addiction. I know this because at the ReCovery Church we have such a group also.

I cannot emphasize this enough:  If you aren't attending meetings, then get up and go. Go when you feel like it.........go when you don't feel like it. Go when it's convenient....go when it isn't. But go! I put such an urgency on this because ever since the pandemic hit attendance is down across the board at recovery meetings. I understand people wanting to protect themselves from getting sick, but at the same time, I receive story after story about those who have returned to old ways, old thoughts and old habits because of the isolation.

Look, I am all for "live-stream" of meetings, but this can never take the place of being with a group of folks. Connecting and sharing what you've been going through. Receiving encouragement from others to not give up, but keep on moving forward in your recovery. We need human contact with others who understand the struggle that comes with addiction.

I will be speaking this coming Wednesday night (June 23rd) at the Church @ Wills Creek. Consider coming out and joining us. Meal starts at 5:30.....large group at 6:30. Hope to see you there. And if you don't remember anything else, never forget this........"God loves you, and so do I!"

God on you...

THOSE HANDS

 

(this is a reposting of a prior father's day Greene Street....I have added a few new things to it) --- Happy Father's day to all the dad's out there.

They were hard and calloused....
Years of work and labor defined and created every crack and wrinkle in those hands.
They had held plows.....
They had held rifles and shotguns....
Not for sport, but to put food on a table.
They had mended broken bicycles so that sons could be mobile once again.
They repaired more cars than I care to count.

They were tender enough to care for dogs that got caught up in barbed wire and had limped back home bleeding and almost to the point of death.
Those hands made basketball goals for the backyard...
They clapped at Jim Reeves and Patsy Cline when they came on the radio.
They slapped knees when a good yarn was spun or joke told.
Those hands never really rested, not till the end.

Those hands rubbed my head or rested on my shoulder when I had done something big.
Those same hands spanked me and put me back on the straight and narrow when I got to big for my britches.
They wiped sweat from the brow when the summer heat flooded a new plowed field. Those hands staked tomatoes and shucked corn. picked blackberries and baled hay. To a young boy, there wasn't anything those hands couldn't do. Those hands have cranked many a turn making home made ice cream. Those hands always deserved the first bowl when it was ready to eat.

Those hands held me and carried me from the car when we would come home late at night after being on a trip. Strong hands......safe hands....
Those hands were quick to help neighbors when something was needed to be done. The hands toted lumber and nailed nails to repair roofs and build back porches. I loved those hands.

Those were the hands of my father..........H.B. Bynum.
Blue collar to the core...
Worked hard all his life. That's just what a man did to support his family.
If my Dad had lived, I'm not sure he'd understand much of what is happening in this world today. He wasn't one to sit around and whine and cry about his lot in life or his lack of money. He worked. His advice to me..."Son, a man does what a man has to do to keep food on the table and a roof over his family." Those wouldn't be very popular words today...but that was my Dad.

Mom died in 1981 and Dad never seemed to recover from it. After they both retired, they reconnected as husband and wife. There seem to be more joy and peace as they shared time and life together. There were trips to the Smokey Mountains and visits with friends and family. I am grateful for the peace and love they found at the end. 

Dad died in 1985, and not a day goes by that I don't think of him.
And on this day, of all days, one that honors fathers, I want to honor him.
For the love he showed me and the huge impact and influence he had on me.
I pray that in some small way, I have been half the man and father he was.
Thank you Lord for giving Father's to us....

After dad's death in '85, Kenneth Spears, who was pastor at Gallant First Baptist, relayed a story to me. He told me of how my dad had come to church one Sunday and during the invitation dad had gone down front to give his life and heart to God. Do you know what a comfort that was to me? I would have loved to have been there to witness this but it's o.k. .   I know that at a certain point in time, I will be reunited with my parents, and I will get a chance to hear dad's version.

Happy Father's Day, Dad.....
I love you....
I miss you.....

DO YOU?

 

In John chapter 21, we come upon a conversation between Peter and Jesus. This is taking place after Jesus' resurrection. Jesus poses a question that seems out of place, but truth be known, Jesus is going to reveal His plans for Peter.

What is the question? The same one that you and I have to answer every day. "DO YOU LOVE ME?" If you look back to Matthew chapter 16, you may remember that Jesus asked another question of his disciples. "Who do you say I am?" Only one quickly shot back with an answer----Peter. "You're the Christ! The Son of the Living God!" Jesus then told Peter that God the Father had revealed that to Peter at that very moment.

But in John Chapter 21, the question of "Do you love me?" seems more intimate. More personal. A question that goes to the very heart of any relationship. "Do you love me?" A question that does not deserve what I refer to as a "Book Answer". In other words, don't parrot back some phrase or religious platitude. My answer needs to come from the heart. 

Two times Peter answers "Yes Lord, you know I love you." Two times Jesus gives Peter instructions that will direct Peter's new calling as a leader. On the third time when asked if Peter loved Jesus......Peter simply said, "Lord, you know all things." In other words, his heart was an open book to Jesus. It didn't matter what the words were, it was the state of the heart that revealed true love that Peter had for Jesus.

I guess you and I need to realize this today, because our actions...our choices....our behavior truly reflects whether we love Jesus, or we are simply playing a religious game.

Think on this today...
Chew on it and see if it speaks to your heart.

Know that I love you, and God REALLY loves you....

HAVING A "JIREH" MOMENT
