Are you really the best judge of
personal behaviors after consuming alcohol?
Encourage each other to be vigilant
and alert to potential spiritual pitfalls of life;
and take steps to make sure that you do not
stumble. Alcohol is indeed a substance that
impacts the mind and body. “To drink or
not to drink” is still a choice that an indi-
vidual must make in his/her life journey.
Choose wisely!
Wine is a mocker, Strong drink is a brawler
And whoever is led astray by it is not wise
– Proverbs 20:1 (NKJV)
