This is a fascinating video that may just revolutionize the way you think about addictions and addicts.
Near the 4:45 mark of the video the statement is made about a new way of interacting with others. This, I believe, is what the Christian church should be doing. If we arenât, I doubt we are living out the good news that Jesus taught. If you want to do an interesting study, check out how many times the phrase âlet usâ is used in the New Testament. Also note that the word saint never appears in the New Testament in the singular, but it is always saintS. This tells me that we were designed to be together.
âHuman beings have a deep need to bond and form connections. Itâs how we get our satisfaction. If we canât connect with each other, we will connect with anything we can findâthe whirr of a roulette wheel or the prick of a syringeâŚ. We should stop talking about âaddictionâ altogether, and instead call it âbonding.â A heroin addict has bonded with heroin because she couldnât bond as fully with anything else.â âJohann Hari
