THANK YOU!!!!!!!! So many people I respect in the church drink, and I just don’t get it. It is a slippery slope no matter how you look at it. Maybe I could handle alcohol, but what about my children, my friends? And like you say, Does drinking ever make me any better. Sure wish more Christians could see the wisdom of your stand. Thank you again.
I am not sure alcohol should be incorporated into anything; business or church. Clearly, Scripture teaches there is nothing wrong with the substance unless abused and no, the wine Jesus created was not a good Welchs grape juice. The evangelical church is abusing marriage one divorce at a a time. Should we remove marriage? We suffer a bit too much from Cary Nation, Billy Sunday and thousands of Southern Baptists preachers with this issue. Study the Word of God and if it leads you to non-imbibing, dont drink alcoholic beverages. To him that knows to do good and doesnt do it, THAT is sin.
