The purpose of this drug abuse conference will be to present a Biblical perspective on this issue. Churches should know from the Bible that none of what we are seeing today with drug abuse is surprising. We are not suffering a "crisis" as many would believe, but we instead suffering a consequence from turning away from God's word as the source of truth. As a former user, and someone who has for 26 years been ministering to many of the local drug users in this area, I believe the church should offer something uniquely spiritual to this problem.

The following is the outline of what is going to be discussed at this event-
I. The latest medical "science"
II. Is there any hope?
III. The tesimonies

Bible verses-2 Corinthians 3:17, Galatians 5:1, The result of current situation-Galatians 5:13-14 and Galatians 3:22
The Biblical answer-Acts 13:38-39, Colossians 1:21-23, Acts 26:18, , Mark 12:24, Luke 1:17, Colossians 1:13

Why we are doing this? Because of the sinful  power of addiction-Romans 6:6 and 7, 11-14
We will not be delivered from the REAL power of addiction, the sinful intentions behind it, unless we accept the Bible's answer to this-John 8:36
