A SIP WITH GREAT WOES

They use it at all celebrations; I mean they celebrate with it; they make it look like, without it a toast is never perfect; they had given it much preference to a ‘cup of ordinary cold water;’ it had been a profound item for libations, idol worship or appeasing the false gods and other devilish practices.

You already know what we are talking about; yes, alcohol of course. Whatever brand it is, the content is the same. Whatever is added to it, the volume does not reduce. Whatever purpose it is intended, the effect in the body system is the same.

This is an experiment that starts with a sip, but its ultimate consequences are but woes; Hab 2:15 "Woe to him who gives drink to his neighbor, Pressing him to your bottle, Even to make him drunk, That you may look on his nakedness!”

These warnings concerning its use must help you keep a great distance from it:

Pr 20:1; “Wine is a mocker, Strong drink is a brawler, And whoever is led astray by it is not wise.”

Pr 21:17; “He who loves pleasure will be a poor man; He who loves wine and oil will not be rich.”

Pr 23:31,32; “Do not look on the wine when it is red, When it sparkles in the cup, When it swirls around smoothly; At the last it bites like a serpent, And stings like a viper.”

Pr 31:4,5;  “It is not for kings, O Lemuel, It is not for kings to drink wine, Nor for princes intoxicating drink; Lest they drink and forget the law, And pervert the justice of all the afflicted.” (Additional Reading: Isa 5:11; 28:1,7; 56:12; Ho 4:11; Hab 2:5.)

Here is the best alternative to alcohol; Eph 5:18; “And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit…”
