How
many times have we looked across the barriers of
life and said...
"I
could never live that kind of life".
Not because of lack of desire or motivation, rather
because society has painted a dark picture of a
rogue's life, in this painting there are not bright
color schemes of hope or transitional themes going
from darkness to light (institutions to grace).
There are only clouds of despair; gulfs and chasms
of no return. Within the darkness, horrid
taskmasters and fortified strong holds are
reflections of which we began and are now prisoners
of.
At
Center House Living
recovery homes, we know of a different Artist and we
know of a different painting. Not one of obscurity,
rather one that society has kept covered. Now the
tide has turned, times have changed; the world is
seeking out freshness and revival. This new picture
is being revealed. Center House
is not rehabilitation as usual.
Center House is
rehabilitation WITH revelation.
We
offer our recovery services and halfway houses to the men of
Center House
through accountability, fellowship and mentorship.
We know that if it wasn't for the submission to the
authority of God, then lives would never be
transformed through mere services and meetings.
That
is why at Center
House, we have seen ex-military,
construction workers, old time preachers, a variety in
all walks of life. Regardless of our backgrounds we
must submit to the knowledge and understanding: To
reach the higher ground, to paint that new picture
of hope, joy, and life more abundant, we must reach
that revelation of Jesus Christ.
We
all come from unbalanced lives; situations of
turmoil and confusion. We tend to live on the
fringes of our lives and identities, never truly
knowing who we are. Our identity is proclaimed
through the eyes of a cold and uncertain world.
Tilted and Jilted upon the canvas of society never
experiencing our true colors and themes.
Now
it is the accepted time to paint a new picture with
an old Artist and straighten out this color scheme;
but before you can become balanced, you must first
find the center.
Welcome to Center House!
I Corinthians 6:9-11
v. 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor
revilers, nor extortionists, shall inherit the
kingdom of God. (11) And Such Were Some of You: but
ye are washed. But ye are sanctified, but ye are
justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the
Spirit of our God.
