Just A Little Drink: Why Not?

So drinking is your own business? Indeed it is! At least up to a point. You're right, man has used alcohol for thousands of years to brace up the faint, to cheer up festivities, to drown out his problems, etc. So you say that moderate drinking is all right. Moderate drinking? When does moderate drinking develop into intemperance? You can go to any rescue mission and hear the same story over and over. The person had money, prestige, a good job, a fine family, but then all at once, or so it seemed, he was on the skids. It all started out with a little drink that "won't/wouldn't hurt." The very thing that had made him friends had turned on him and had caused his ruination. The biblical warning, "Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise" (Proverbs 20:1) , has/had now been proven in his very own life. And the drink demon had not been satisfied until the victim hit rock bottom. Many traffic accidents are

Characteristics of the Self Life: Measure Yourself.

The following are some of the features and manifestations of the self-life. The Holy Spirit alone can interpret and apply this to your individual case. As you read, examine yourself in the very presence of God. ARE YOU EVER CONSCIOUS OF: A secret spirit of pride or an exalted feeling in view of your success or position — because of your good training or appearance; because of your natural gifts and abilities — an important, independent spirit?  -Proverbs 6:18, 20:6, 25:14; -Romans 12:3; -James 4:6.

How Readest Thou! (Poem)

It is one thing to read the Bible through, It’s another thing to read to learn and do. Some read it as their duty once a week, But no instructions from the Bible (do they) seek. Some read to bring themselves into repute By showing others how often they can dispute. While others read because their neighbors do To see how long ’twill take to read it through.
