I Don't Drink Alcohol Because
Posted by Matt Postiff October 24, 2015 on Matt Postiff's Blog under Society
I don't drink alcohol because:
- We are commanded not to be drunk. Drunkenness sets in quite soon after drinking begins. If it doesn’t because you have built up resistance, you already have a serious problem.
- Drinking is not necessary to live, or to enjoy life.
- Drinking only a few beers puts most people into the impaired or intoxicated category.
- Drinking can form a habit and addiction which can be deadly.
- Drinking is potentially destructive of families, in auto accidents, etc.
- Drinking is offensive to many Christians.
- Drinking blurs your testimony to the world.
- Drinking moderately can lead your kids into drinking immoderately.
- Drinking is a waste of money and supports a bad industry.
- Drinking clouds judgment and deadens senses and conscience.
- Drinking is not compatible with Christian ministry, just like it was not compatible with Tabernacle ministry.
- Drinking is not necessary medicinally or to purify drinking water.
- Drinking is not the best or most excellent choice.
- Drinking is often associated with sexual immorality and other sinful lifestyles.
