“North Americans have become conditioned into believing that there is a prescription for every common ache or disease,” according to Dr. W. Gifford Jones.  This philosophy of a pill for every problem is troubling because the root cause of the situation is often overlooked.  Sadly, many take the same approach regarding spiritual needs.  We try to improve our selves, go to church, get baptized or sprinkled, give to charities, all hoping to impress God.  But the Bible, God’s inspired word, teaches that the root of the problem is the heart. God describes it as “deceitful and desperately wicked.”  Instead of stubbornly refusing to face the truth, and admitting we need a new heart, we take spiritual pills and   overlook the root problem – sin.  Are you facing reality, or “just taking pills”?
