The greatest danger of alcohol is not in the bottle, but in the heart of the one who desires it.
Alcohol seduces, but it destroys.
It begins with laughter, and ends with shame, ruin, and tears.
The Bible says:
“Wine is a mocker and beer a brawler; whoever is led astray by them is not wise.”(Proverbs 20:1)
Drinking is not necessarily a sin, but getting drunk is.
Drunkenness takes away self-control, opens the door to sin, and silences the voice of the Holy Spirit.
“Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit.”(Ephesians 5:18)
A Christian does not need wine to be joyful, but the Spirit to be filled with peace.
Those led by God keep a sober, pure, and vigilant heart.
“But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, putting on faith and love as a breastplate…”(1 Thessalonians 5:8)
Thus, true joy does not come from the cup, but from the presence of God.
For the Spirit of God gives a joy that no wine can ever offer.
