if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore
him gently. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted. --
Galatians 6:1</b></i></font></font>
<br>
<br>
<font face="Georgia, serif"><font size="3">I
like chocolate. It has become a joke among those who know me well. I
contend that chocolate is a great weight loss food because if you're
hungry for chocolate and you eat something else, you'll eat and eat
and eat and never get full.</font></font>
<br>
<br>
<font face="Georgia, serif"><font size="3">If
I'm hungry for chocolate, I'll sometimes dip pretty low. I'll even
eat generic kids snack chocolate that tastes more like plastic than
the real thing. But give me a choice, and I'll walk away from kids
chocolate, milk chocolate, coffee-flavored chocolate, white chocolate
-- I'll leave it far behind for what I truly like: dark, semisweet
chocolate - like what you'd find in a Mounds bar or in a Hershey's
Special Dark.</font></font>
<br>
<br>
<font face="Georgia, serif"><font size="3">You
can't simply get rid of sin. But you can trade it in for something
better. The reason we can restore our brothers and sisters gently is
this: We have the same vacuum inside -- the same cravings that only
Jesus can deeply satisfy. </font></font>
<br>
<br>
<font face="Georgia, serif"><font size="3">If
we want to restore people, let's find out what need they are trying
to meet with their sin. At the core, we have the same needs. Now
let's find a way for Jesus to meet that need.</font></font>
<br>
<br>
<font color="#000000"><font face="Georgia, serif"><font size="3">Many
Christians just want to get people converted and scratch their heads
when that doesn't settle everything. But Jesus wants to find His way
deep into our hearts so that He fills all the vacuums left when we
give our sins to Him.</font></font></font>
<br>
<br>
<font color="#000000"><font face="Georgia, serif"><font size="3">Be
encouraged!</font></font></font>

<font color="#0000ff" face="Georgia"><font size="2">What happens when
you partner with Dwight Clough Ministries?
Victims of violent crimes and survivors of abuse are finding peace,
wholeness, the power to forgive and the strength to set boundaries.
Those ensnared by addictions are finding freedom. Marriages are being
restored. Families are strengthened. Christian brothers and sisters in
restricted lands who face persecution are finding strength and
encouragement. Young believers are learning how to walk with the Lord,
and people are coming into the faith for the first time. None of this
happens as a result of one person's efforts, but rather this is God's
work as He blesses the sacrifice of many people including yourself. We
partner with you, with other ministries, and, most significantly, with
the Lord. That's how the supernatural happens.<br>
