Trying to Fix Spiritual Issues with Physical Solutions

Have you ever noticed the self help solutions never stop coming?  One new fad will come out and be the “big thing” of the day.  Oprah will call it the best thing since sliced bread and it will be all over social media.  Within a short time, though, it fades away and a new big thing replaces it to try to fix everyone’s problems in 3 easy steps.

Why is this so?

Because the fixes people are looking to in order to fix their problems are physical.  They are addressing symptoms rather than working on the cause in their spiritual lives.

You cannot solve spiritual problems in your life with material solutions. Where do you look to when you are having trouble in life? Do you look to Jesus and His Word or to the many material solutions?
