  • Father Martin speaks about the importance of "Prayer." He talks about spirituality verses religion. We believe that prayer helps with strengthening our spiritual being. Listen, learn, and pass it on to someone else. Good information should always be shared with others.
    I've never seen this video on here before. Once I got the DVD I thought that it should be shared with others to benefit from this man's wisdom.

      I had the privilege of seeing him live in Ann Arbor in 1985. It was so memorable and I remember his story of the skein of geese.

      I was as hopeless as I've ever seen,
      In no way shape or form did I ever think I'd get clean,
      I now work in treatment & have over 15 months of sobriety,
      If I can do it you can..... Don't give up on your self & give it too god.
      Get a Sponcer and work the 12 steps. Amen

    For info. Step 11 is set out clearly and simply on pages 86-88 of Alcoholics Anonymous book. Page 13 and 14 is the program that was set out by Ebby to Bill. Dr Bob was praying and drinking and didn't get sober until he met Bill and got the idea of trying to actively think of and help others.

    The roman catholic faith is built on the following:
    * A false gospel message that is not biblical
    *Lifting up regular/sinful men (the pope) as supreme and errorless
    *Re-sacrificing the Lord in the mass services
    *Praying to dead saints
    *They cling to huge religious buildings and a vast fortune
    *They claim a unbroken line of popes to Peter that is a lie
    *Lifting up and praying to Mary who was just a fallen person
    *Unbiblical practices like baby baptism, purgatory, the idolatry of the eucharist and confession to a priest as the only way of forgiving sin
    *A works based / man made religious system (Christ and His Word is not enough) that holds you in bondage and not freedom.

    Ive loved and appreciated this dear man for 30 years when I first heard him. Being a bit picky here.. only difference I see in this talk is that I'm in the field that includes the idea that there never was a beginning. God and His presence, principles, color frequencies, sound frequencies, math,, geometry, sciences, faith, hope, love, were always here, there and everywhere. Always. Without beginning. Here and now.

    Having faith in Jesus Christ is what delivers me from addiction. No one can come to the Father except through him. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is what is missing here and in the programs of NA and AA. We must realize that addiction is a sin problem and must repent of our sins and be filled with the Holy Spirit.
