The Goal And The Gutter

Stay on track

It is easy to get distracted or derailed from our purpose, and there are plenty of forces at work to capture our attention and desire. We all need strategies to keep us on track and boundaries to keep us on the path.

Pain & Pleasure

Dr Paul Looney • Romans 13:14

We are wired to move toward pleasure and away from pain. We parent our souls well when we give ourselves reward for doing well and a negative consequence when we behave badly. It takes effort and planning, but if our brains and bodies are trained properly, they will serve us well.

The Path

April 4, 2022 • Dr Paul Looney

Thank God, He provides a path to healing, restoration, and recovery, but it requires stamina and support. Step by step, He honors our efforts especially when the struggle endures.

The Power of a Promise

Dr Paul Looney • Matthew 26:29

At the last meal with his closest friends, Jesus makes a commitment that is sorely tested. He leads the way in showing all of us the power of a promise. If we are ever tempted to give in to an addiction or let ourselves off the hook, Jesus shows us how to endure suffering and hold on to sobriety, engaging fully the power of a promise.
