Donkey and Flea Let me suck 8 quarts of blood and I will give you back one for every 8. Sounds like a good deal to me. When school-age youth are allowed to drink alcohol at home, they are not only more likely to use alcohol and other drugs outside the home, but they are more likely to develop serious behavioral and health problems related to their use of alcohol and other drugs. This far exceeds the per capita budget of the college library. Sixty percent of college women diagnosed with a sexually transmitted disease were drunk at the time of infection.
Alcohol destroys our homes, our lives, and our nation, and ultimately our souls.
As God allows me to personally be Salt and Light, I commit to never drink alcohol. Your children will not be encouraged where I pastor. I am hard-pressed to think of any way that casual, social drinking can enhance your witness, much less bring people to Christ. Jesus Christ came to set me at liberty not bondage. Alcohol is just one of the many substitutes for the joy of Christ.
