12th Step Tips – “Each One, Reach One”

Reach Out To Individuals
We all know someone who needs help. Reach out to them just as Christ would. These tips will help you get started.

  • Ask God to lead you to those who are in need of help or direction in recovery. Pray that He will give you the right words of hope and encouragement for these people.
  • People in need of recovery need something tangible. Hand those in need of help a handout (CIR brochure, inspirational cards, Bible Guide Card, ruler, etc.)
  • Be a good listener. Let them do the talking and tell you their needs first. Then you will be better equipped to help them. Talking over a cup of coffee or while taking a walk is helpful.

Can a person be saved and smoke cigarettes?

Can a person be saved and smoke cigarettes?

Unsaved people are not called to perfect their lives before they come to the cross; the work in the lives only begins at the cross. When you accept Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, you are then saved. However, it does not stop there. In making Jesus, Lord of your life, you have surrendered your will and fleshly desires to the Holy Spirit. “When he comes (the Holy Spirit) he will convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment” (John 16:8).

By surrendering yourself to the Lord, you are saying, “Lord, move in my life and help me to be who you want me to be.” You must be willing to see where God wants to grow you and then act accordingly.
