“Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging; and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.”
Proverbs 20:1
I am amazed at how often many of our visitor go to this blog in our archives. I am re-posting it for any of our new visitors.
Please listen because I am bringing you a warning! I am pulling the rope that sounds the bell of warning. I am holding a sign that says danger ahead. The devil is a liar and the flesh cannot be trusted. To some of you this will be a reminder of what you have heard perhaps many times. To others it might be a wake up call from God’s word. It is the constant moving of water over the rocks in a stream that gives the rocks their shape. And so it is with Christians (I’m aiming for those of you who aren’t saved as well) when God’s word and principles are poured over and into the heart and minds it will shape us, it will strengthen us, it will steer us and in doing so we will be spared from those things that will sabotage our lives and our walk with the Lord.
Alcohol is a great lie. Our Verse tells us, “Whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.” What good has ever come from alcohol? How many marriages have been ruined by alcohol? How many lives have been cut short by alcohol? How many choices have been influenced by alcohol that led to horrific consequences in the life and the lives of the one who took the first drink? The number is too great to count. The advertisers and the ad executives are nothing more than the pawns of Satan. Many have become wealthy at the great cost of many lives.
Many speak of drinking in moderation. You might as well go skiing with one ski because you are already on a slippery slope. Young people don’t believe the lie. Adults don’t start now.
I challenge you to read Proverbs 23:19-35 and allow God to speak to you in His great truth about the great lie of alcohol.
