In 1994, David Hahn built a nuclear reactor in his backyard. He was using materials that are commonly available such as lantern mantles and smoke detectors. When it was all said and done, his mother's potting shed was cut into pieces and buried in a high-level nuclear waste facility in Utah. He had absorbed enough radiation to prevent him from ever working in the nuclear industry again.
David Hahn was messing with something a lot more powerful than he really understood. Though he's a genius in the world of nuclear physics, he's caused irrepairable damage to his reputation... and to his body.
Our lives can be a lot like that. We start playing with things about which we don't understand the power, like alcohol or pornography. These things are dangerous. We think we can play with it once, and still have control over it.
Experience tells me we can't control these things. You try it once and you like it. You stick with it for a little while. Before you know it, you're hooked and you can't get away from it. Or, like David Hahn, you find yourself in a position where you can never, ever, be around it again.
These things are dangerous. But we do have something that can help us around them. His name is Jesus Christ, and He can protect us from evil.
Folks, Jesus Christ is the best thing that ever happened to me. He freed me from pornography and he freed me from alcohol. He can do the same for you if you only let him.
If you have any questions, ask me.
