Overview

Television commercials can be tantalizing... and at the same time, reflect what we wish wasn’t true. One long-running ad featured a bag of potato chips with the tag line, “Bet you can’t eat just one!”

This fascinating commercial featured different people who, after tasting one chip, were prevented from having another. Oh, oh, oh, the agony! First they would fidget and sweat... then leap over obstacles, tackling grocers to get to the chips. Finally, when they got their hands on those tasty tidbits... oh, the ecstasy of finishing off the whole bag!

We all share one common characteristic: When we find something we especially like, we simply want more! But if our common desire becomes a compulsive demand—if our natural drive to eat becomes a notorious slave driver—then we are out of control. The fact that our God-given appetite can turn into an all-consuming fixation is an example of this principle...

“. . . ‘people are slaves to whatever has mastered them.’” (2 Peter 2:19)
