to begin for another time freely in your need to sing praises unto you. If you're preaching
from your time, I just pray that today you'd be with us for the song service, that you'd
incline your ear to us as we lift up your name and praise. I pray that you'd be with
Brother Dylan, fill him with your spirit. Open our ears to the message that you've laid
on his heart today, Lord. And also, if you just would this evening, as many are traveling
back home, just keep us safe with the uncertain weather that's coming in. These things we
pray in Jesus' name, amen. All right, for our next hymn this morning, turn if you would
to hymn number 13, "Must Jesus Bear Cross Alone." Hymn number 13, 1, 3. Cross alone,
hymn 13. We'll sing there starting on the verse, "Must Jesus." Get your hand, we'll
come and get it to you. Process of printing those off, we had an issue with the printer
this morning, so if you want to just keep your hand up and we will come around and get
that to you. On the front of the bulletin we have our new chapter that we're starting,
Second Timothy chapter number two. Second Timothy chapter number two, so I encourage
all of those. This is a clean slate to get involved in memorization throughout the week
and there will of course be a prize at the end of that chapter for those who are able
to quote that to a non-family member. Also on the inside we have service time, soul winning
times listed there as well as our nursing home ministry and then our month-to-date year-to-date
stats below that. Also we want to be in prayer for our expecting ladies. Ms. M award is do
any minute, right? So definitely keep them in your thoughts. Also the Scott family and
the Frer family. And then our next fifth Sunday fellowship is March 10th and we'll get a theme

brother Oz and his family here this morning. Great to have him here and he's going to be
preaching for us both in the morning and evening service. And so definitely get around to greet
them. And then February 24th is going to be a ladies event and that's going to be at the
house of clay. You guys are going to be doing some ceramic painting. So I know for you ladies
that is going to be a lot of fun. That is nurselings only preferred. So please be aware
of that. Husbands, fathers, help your wife out with watching the children for that. And
then we do have a home school field trip on March 18th and that's going to be to the Cowboy
Hall of Fame. We've not been there yet as a church group. It's somewhere I went as a
child and I'm sure if you grew up in Oklahoma you probably had some type of a field trip
there as well. It's a great place for just learning history about Oklahoma and I encourage
all of you to sign up for that. Also just before I keep going on there is a ladies sign
up sheet so on the back table for the ladies event please make sure you get signed up for
that so we know exactly how many people are going to be attending and then as we get closer
to March 18th we'll have a sign up sheet for that as well. March 30th will be our next
soul winning marathon that's Easter weekend and that will be a local marathon we'll be

Also one quick note we have the giving statements for 2023 available so if you have not gotten
yours please let me know and I can get that to you and I can print that off after the
sermon or after the service and get that to you. I feel like there was one other thing
I am not thinking of right this second so if I think of it this oh I know what it was
uh pictures so directly after the uh the service this morning we're going to be doing pictures
we don't necessarily have any structured uh method of doing that at this moment if you
would like to stay after directly after service and get your picture taken can you just give
me a raise of hand if you'd like to get that done right after the service okay so I think
we have plenty enough that we'll start there on the first
is
amen good singing this morning as the offering plates are being passed around turn if you
would to deuteronomy chapter 32 deuteronomy chapter number 32 deuteronomy chapter number 32
give ear oh ye heavens and I will speak and hear oh earth the words of my mouth my doctrine shall
drop as the rain my speech shall distill as the dew as the small rain upon the tender herb
and as the showers upon the grass because I will publish the name of the lord ascribe e greatness
unto our god he is the rock his work is perfect and all his ways are judgment god of truth and
without iniquity just and right as he they have corrupted themselves their spot is not the spot
of his children they are a perverse and crooked generation do you thus require the lord oh foolish
people and unwise is not he thy father that hath bought thee hath he not made thee and established
thee remember the days of old consider the years of many generations ask thy father and he will
show thee thy elders and they will tell thee when the most high divided to the nations their
inheritance when he separated the sons of adam he set forth he set the bounds of the people
according to the number of the children of israel for the lord's portion is his people jacob is the
lot of his inheritance he found him in a desert land and in the in the waste howling wilderness
he led him about he instructed him he kept him as the apple of his eye as an eagle stirreth up her
nest fluttereth over her over her young spreadeth abroad her wings and take it them beareth them on
her wings so the lord alone did lead him and there was no strange god with him he made him ride on
high places of the earth that he might eat the increase of the fields and he made him to suck
the honey out of the out of the rock and oil out of the flinty rock butter of kind and milk of sheep
with fat of lambs and rams of the breed of baysham and goats with the fat of kidneys of wheat and thou
didst drink the pure blood of the grape but Jeshurun wax fat and kick thou and kicked thou art wax and
fat thou art grown thick thou art covered with fatness then he forsook god which made him
and and lightly esteemed the rock of his salvation they provoked him to jealousy with strange gods
and with abominations provoked they him to anger they sacrificed unto devils not to god to gods
whom they knew not to new gods that came newly up whom your fathers feared not of the rock that
begat thee thou art unmindful and has forgotten god that formed thee and when the lord saw it
he abhorred them because the because of the provoking of his sons and of his daughters
and he said i will hide my face from them i will see what their end shall be for they are a very
forward generation children in whom is no faith they have moved me to jealousy with that which
is not god they have provoked me to anger with their vanities and i will move them to jealousy
with those which are not a people i will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation for a fire
is kindled in mine anger and shall burn into the lowest hell and shall consume the earth with her
increase and set on fire the foundations of the of the mountains and i will heat mischiefs upon them
and i will spend spend mine arrows upon them they shall be they shall be burnt with hunger
and devoured with burning heat and with bitter destruction i will also send the teeth of beasts
upon them with the poison of serpents of the dust the sword without and terror within shall
destroy both the young man and the virgin the suckling also with the man of gray hairs i said
i would scatter them into corners i would make the remembrance of them to cease from from among
them were it not that i feared the wrath of the enemy lest their adversaries should have should
behave themselves strangely and lest they should this should say our hand is our hand is high and
the lord hath not done all this for they are a nation void of counsel neither is there any
understanding in them oh that they were wise that they would that they understood this that they
would consider their their latter end oh how how should one chase a thousand and two put ten
thousand flight except their rock had had sold them and the lord had shut them up for their rock
is not as our rock even our enemies themselves being judges for their vine is a is of the vine
of Sodom in their fields of Gomorrah their grapes are grapes of gall their clusters are bitter
their wine is the poison of dragons and the cruel venom of asps is not this laid up in store with
me and sealed among up among my treasures to me belongeth vengeance and recompense their foot shall
shall slide in due time for they shall for the day of their calamity is at hand and the things that
shall come upon them make haste for the lord shall judge his people and repent himself for his for
his servants when he seeth their their power is gone and there is none shut up or left and he
shall say where are their gods their rock in whom they trusted which did eat the fat of their of
their sacrifices and drink the wine of their drink offerings let them rise up and help you
and be your protection see now that i even i am he and there is no god with me i kill and i make
alive i wound and i heal neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand for i lift up my hand
to heaven and say i live forever if i wet my glittering sword and mine hand take hold on
judgment i will render vengeance to mine enemies and i will reward them that hate me i will make
mine arrows drunk with blood and my sword shall devour flesh and that with the blood of the slain
and the captives from from the beginning of of revenges upon mine upon the enemy rejoice
oh ye nations with this with his people for he will avenge the blood of his servants and will
render vengeance to his adversaries and will be merciful under his under this his land and to his
people and moses came and spake all the words of this of this song in the ears of the people
and hosea the son of the son of nun and moses made an end of speaking all these words to all israel
and he said unto them set your hearts under all the words which i testify among you this day
which ye which ye shall command your children to observe and to to do all the words of this law
for it is not a vain thing for you because it is your life and through this thing you shall
prolong your days in the land where they go over jordan to possess it and the lord spake under moses
that self-same day saying get thee up into the mountain abiram under them under mount nebo
which is in the land of moab that is over against jericho and behold the land of canaan which i give
under the children of israel for possession and die in the mountain whither thou goest up and be
gathered unto thy people as erin thy brother died in in mount hor and was gathered into his people
because he trespassed against me among the children of israel at the waters of mariba kadesh in the
wilderness of zin because ye sanctify me not in the minds in the midst of the children of israel
yet thou shalt see the land before thee but thou shalt not go thither into the land which i give
the children of israel let's pray lord we're so thankful to be gathered in house pastor shelly

to you know learn everyone's name be able to see their faces have face in the name to pray for so
please stick around and get your picture taken that would be a great blessing if you do that
we're here in deuteronomy chapter number 32 and let's start reading in verse number 31
the bible says for their rock is not as our rock even our enemies themselves being judges for their
vine is the vine of sodom fields of demora their grapes are grapes of gall their clusters are
bitter their wine is the poison of dragons and the cruel venom notice right here in this passage
how much division we see in the word of god we see a difference between their rock the world's rock
and our rock we see a difference between their vine and our vine they we see difference between
their wine and our wine and notice when it speaks of the world's wine how does it describe it it
says that it's the poison of bragging so there's two different types of wine there's their wine
there's our wine their wine what does the bible say is poison now what is this talking about
this is talking about alcohol poison is alcohol alcohol is poisonous now let me give you the
dictionary definition definition of the word poison poison the dictionary says is a substance
with an inherent property that tends to destroy life or impair health and that's exactly what
alcohol is and the bible here is describing alcohol as a poison of devils and so the title
my sermon this morning is the devil's drink the devil's drink because here the bible is saying
that the poison of the world is the poison of dragons or devils and i basically want to
divide this sermon into two parts first i want to present to you some of the lies that the devil
loves to tell about alcohol some of the claims that the world likes to make that the devil has
lied and convinced people to believe about alcohol and then part two of this sermon i want to present
you the truth of what the bible teaches now here's the first lie go ahead and go to john chapter
number two john chapter number two here's the first lie that the devil has told the world about
alcohol and that is that jesus christ turned wine turned water into alcoholic wine that is a lie
that the devil teaches most even people that claim to be christians believe this junk this lie but
this is that is exactly what it is it is a lie look at john chapter number two verse one let's
go through this story it says and the third day there was a marriage in cana of galilee and the
mother of jesus was there and both jesus was called and his disciples through the marriage
and when they wanted wine meaning they had a lack they had a desire they had a need when they
wanted wine the mother of jesus saith unto him to jesus they have no wine so we see here that they
have a lack of wine whatever wine is and mary's mother brings it to jesus's attention hey they
need some wine now to understand what this is talking about let's quickly skip down and read
uh read verse number i'm sorry let's just read verse number four it says jesus saith unto her
woman what have i to do with thee mine hour has not yet come mother saith unto the servants
whatsoever he saith you do it and there were set there six water pots of stone after the manner
of the purifying of the jew containing two or three persons of peace jesus saith unto them fill the
water pots with water and they filled them up with the brim and he saith unto them draw out now and
bear unto the governor of the feast and they bear it when the ruler of the feast had tasted the
water that was made wine knew not whence it was the servants which drew the water knew the
governor of the feast called the bridegroom and saith unto him every man at the beginning doth
set forth good wine and when men have well drunk then that which is worked but that was kept the
good wine until now so he's saying like normally when you go to a wedding when you go to a party
what do they do they set out the good wine first and then when that's all gone all gone when that's
all drunk then they bring out the secondary wine the cheaper wine the not as good wine and even
today this is done you know steadfast baptist church has put on weddings before and pastor
shelly had me go by really nice expensive juice which is wine and i'll prove that from the bible
in a minute here and we put out that really nice expensive juice and we mix that with some sprite
and people enjoy themselves people have a great time at a wedding why because that's a luxury
that's something that you would drink at a wedding and he's saying like hey what's going on here you
you gave us the bad stuff first and now you've given us this great wine and why is it so great
well obviously because it's the product of jesus jesus is going to turn water into wine that wine
is going to be excellent that wine is going to be luxurious it's going to taste delicious right
and he's kind of mind-blowing like hey why did you keep this stuff back for so long well because
jesus just turned the water into wine right but here's the thing if you are going to teach that
this passage is talking about alcohol then there's a couple of facts that you would have to accept
as a christian you would have to accept that either being drunk is not a sin and that jesus
made people drunk right because here's the thing it's saying here that they've already well drunk
so if this is if this is alcohol which i submit to you it is absolutely not you would have to
accept the fact that jesus christ is taking people that are already drunk they've already well drunk
alcohol and that he's giving them more that's what you would have to accept to say that this
is alcohol okay but here's the thing i've never heard one of these christians say that getting
drunk is okay they always say oh getting drunk is a sin it's okay to drink in moderation that's
usually what they always say oh it's okay for christians to drink it's okay to drink a little
bit have it in moderation but just don't get drunk no christian virtually teaches it's okay
to get drunk well why is that go ahead and go to isaiah 65 i'll read for you ephesians 5 18
ephesians 5 18 says this and be not drunk with wine wherein is excess but be filled with the
spirit and so the bible clearly commands to not be drunk and i think even in the modern perversions
of the bible i'm pretty sure they all pretty much say that not to be drunk and so virtually
any person that claims the name of christ is going to tell you that being drunk is a sin but
here we see jesus giving people who had well drunk something giving them more well if that's
alcohol then you're calling jesus christ a sinner that's what you're doing you're saying that the
lord of heaven god in the flesh came down to a party where people are already drunk and then he
makes more alcohol and gives that to them that's what you're accusing our savior of and what is
that that's blasphemy is what that is that's a wicked teaching that is a lie of the devil
and of course the devil wants to blaspheme christ of course the devil wants people to believe that
jesus christ is making people drunk with the devil's drink wine alcohol isaiah 65 now here's the other
option you say okay well if you believe that this is talking about alcohol then you have to believe
that jesus is a sinner what you have to believe or you're just misunderstanding what wine is
or you're just misunderstanding the passage i'm gonna say it's that one because look at isaiah 65
verse 8 it says thus saith the lord as the notice new wine is found notice this in the cluster what
is that talking about in the cluster of grapes and the cluster of fruit and one say it destroy it not
for a blessing is in it so will i do for my servants sakes that i may not destroy them all
notice wine in the bible is not always talking about alcohol you have to look at the context
to understand what it's talking about and here the bible calls it notice new wine when people
drink alcoholic wine don't they always like to play up how age right and the more age the wine
is the better it is in their eyes but here the bible says new wine where is it found in the
cluster this can't be a fermented beverage this can't be alcohol because it's literally taken
straight from the fruit and notice what it's described as it's described as a blessing people
try to say oh you know alcohol the bible says alcohol is a blessing no the bible says that juice
is a blessing the bible says that wine is a blessing new wine juice okay and here's the thing
christians today just need to start learning some words and learn what words mean and not just be
simple fools that believe everything they hear just oh jesus turned water into alcohol no that's
not true because a simple search of the word wine in a dictionary would tell you that this is one
of the dictionary definitions of wine now if you look up wine in a dictionary of course you're
going to find a definition that says it's talking about alcohol because that is one of the definitions
okay but here's another definition of wine the juice fermented or unfermented of various other
fruits or plants used as a beverage sauce etc so notice even just education even just being
educated should let you know that wine is not always talking about alcohol there is such a thing
as wine that is not alcoholic that wine is a blessing the bible says but here's the thing
the drunk fool the person who's bought into the devil's lie the person that loves the devil's
drink can't fathom how juice can be a blessing because to them the only time that they have fun
the only time that they have a party is when they're drunk when they're getting wasted when
they're getting all of their senses just inebriated by alcohol that's the only fun that they can have
but you know what wine is a blessing non-alcoholic wine that is a blessing why do we serve that at
weddings because it's good because it's delicious and you know in our society where we live in one
of the most rich countries in the world and you can just get this kind of stuff everywhere
we kind of take that for granted but back then making this type of a beverage for a large group
of people would be hours and hours and hours of labor getting the juice out of the grave
getting it from the vineyard and serving it to people that would be a huge food luxury so of
course that's described as a blessing go to Matthew chapter number 26 look Jesus Christ would not be
Christ if he had served these people out Jesus Christ would not be our savior we wouldn't be
here today because our savior would have sinned and we would all be damned to hell if Jesus would
have given these people alcohol that is a lie of the devil no that's the devil's drink that's
not the Lord's drink here's another lie that I've heard recently I heard a lie recently that says
this Jesus commanded us to drink wine at the last supper now I've heard people say that oh yeah we
use wine at the last supper but recently I heard someone teach that Jesus commanded us to drink
alcoholic wine at the last supper now there's this guy and I don't even hate this guy I think this
guy's probably saved but let me tell you something when you teach blasphemous false doctrine you're
opening yourself to being called up whether you're saved or not okay and so there's this guy named
John Lovell does anyone know who this guy is okay a couple the gun guys know who right exactly now
there's this guy he's a he's a firearms instructor he's got millions and millions of followers on
youtube he has his own network called the warrior poet society network and he has this podcast where
he's influencing millions and millions of people and in this podcast he has a portion of the podcast
where it's q a asked john level a question and he was asked this question uh the question was is it
wrong for christians to drink alcohol and this is what john level said he said quote alcohol was
commanded by jesus he said you should do this in remembrance of me so when jesus said do this in
remembrance of me according to john level he's saying drinking alcohol is what we should do to
remember jesus christ now look at matthew chapter number 26 verse 17 it says now the first day of
the feast of unleavened bread notice that phrase unleavened bread the disciples came to jesus saying
unto him where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat Passover and he saith go into the city to
such a man and say unto him the master saith my time is at hand i will keep the Passover at thy
house with my disciples and the disciples did as jesus had commanded them and they made ready the
Passover so of course the Passover what is it it's the first day of the feast of what unleavened
bread now that's pretty explicit what type of bread we're talking about right bread without leaven
bread without yeast what is leaven it's a substance as yeast or baking powder that causes
fermentation how do you make alcohol by the way fermentation and when we're having the feast of
unleavened bread god specifically tells us to use bread that doesn't have any yeast that doesn't
have any leaven that doesn't ferment anything and why is that well because leaven is constantly a
picture of sin in the bible and why would we keep the Passover by eating something that pictures
sin that wouldn't make any sense right stay there in Matthew 26 let me read for you first
Corinthians 5 6 it says your glorying is not good know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole
lump purge out there for the old leaven that ye may be a new lump as ye are unleavened for even
christ our Passover is sacrificed for us so keep that in mind as we're reading this passage in
Matthew 26 that the Bible is literally telling us that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump
meaning a little bit of sin corrupts everything you know in Ecclesiastes it says one sinner
destroyeth much good so leaven is constantly used as a picture of sin keep that in mind as we read
this Matthew 26 verse 26 and as they were eating Jesus took bread now we know what kind of bread
that is right unleavened bread comparing scripture with scripture and blessed it and break it and gave
it to his disciples and said take eat notice this is my body so when Jesus is having to pass over
here he eats this unleavened bread and he specifically tells us this represents my body
now that just makes sense right because unleavened bread has no leaven has nothing that pictures sin
just like Jesus's body was 100 percent sinless Jesus was the perfect sacrifice he was the spotless
lamb of God without sin and so when you eat the unleavened bread what you're picturing is the
fact that Jesus Christ never sinned that Jesus Christ was perfect verse 27 and he took of the
cup and gave thanks and gave it to them saying drink ye all of it for this is my blood of the
new testament which is shed for many for the remission of sins but i say unto you i will not
drink henceforth of this notice fruit of the vine until that day when i drink it new with you in my
father's kingdom notice when he was drinking the wine he says that this is my blood of the new
testament and again do you really think that jesus is going to drink a beverage that's full of levin
when he just ate the bread without left picture his sinless body oh but he's going to picture his
blood by sin he's going to picture his blood by drinking a poisonous beverage full of levin which
is the exact antithesis of what the point of the Passover is if you believe that you're an idiot
or you just don't aren't saved and don't understand the bible no he's drinking he's eating unleavened
bread and he's drinking a beverage without fermentation why because it pictures his blood
we are saved by the blood of christ and if jesus had sinned if jesus was a sinner then it would
make sense for alcohol to picture his blood because alcohol is the devil's drink you know
what he never sinned he was perfect and so alcohol being pictured by the blood of christ is blasphemous
and is disgusting and when you see false religions that worship the devil like the catholic church
it makes sense that they use alcohol when they take communion when you see false religions like
the orthodox church it makes sense that they drink the devil's drink to picture the blood of christ
because they don't have the right jesus they have a different christ no the people that have christ
are those that are saved that understand that salvation is by faith in a perfect savior in a
sinless savior so no we're not going to drink the devil's drink to picture the blood of christ and
what a wicked thing to say jesus commanded us to drink a fermented beverage to picture his death
that's wicked as hell go to 1st corinthians chapter number 11 1st corinthians chapter number 11 let's
read verse number 23 it says for i have received of the lord that which also i delivered unto you
that the lord jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread unleavened bread and when
he gave had given thanks he break it and said take eat this is my body which is broken for you
this do in remembrance of you after the same manner also took eat a cup when he had supped
saying this cup is the new testament in my blood this do as oft as you drink it in remembrance of
me for as often as ye eat this bread and drink this cup ye do show the lord's death till he come
now who read that and and said and saw oh yeah this is where jesus commanded us to drink alcohol
that's not in the text folks that's not even close to what it's saying no he took unleavened bread
drink an unleavened beverage and said this do in remembrance of me but john level actually goes
farther he said this he said how often should we remember jesus every time so what are you doing
there not only are you saying that the lord's supper should be taken with alcohol and that jesus
commanded it but now you're insinuating that every single meal you have you should remember the lord
jesus because when should we remember christ shouldn't it just be all the time shouldn't it
just be every meal that we should remember christ but well of course not by drinking alcohol not by
drinking the devil's drink you idiot that's ridiculous no that's the devil's drink that's
the devil's doctrine that's a lie from the devil that's not what the bible teaches here's another
claim that the devil likes to teach and again john level is the one that said this john level claims
that t totalism which is the doctrine of abstinence of alcohol he says this t totalism is a new
doctrine brand new john level said this before the 1900s there was zero t total or christian
so never in history before the year 1900 was there ever a christian that said we should abstain from
all alcohol according to john level what a wicked liar what a stupid thing to say i mean what an
ignorant statement that is okay now i'm going to give you some examples of people before 1900
that were t totalers okay has anyone ever heard of stonewall jackson a confederate general in what
year the 1860s okay so we're talking before 1900 this is what he said stonewall jackson said i like
liquor its taste its effect and that is just the reason why i never drink and let me just say this
i'm not stupid enough to think that in a room full of people of this size that there's not someone
in here that probably enjoys alcohol and if that's you let me tell you that's a good reason to never
drink it look i hope no one i hope that you've never tasted alcohol i hope that you think it's
disgusting and trash but maybe you grew up drinking and you think well you know what i did like the
taste of it i did like alcohol that's a great reason to never drink it then because alcohol
will destroy your life it'll destroy your spiritual walk with god and stonewall jackson was at least
wise enough to say hey i i like alcohol and that's why i never drink it want to know what you call
someone that never drinks alcohol a teetotaler before the year 1900 not only that according to
history there were several us presidents that were teetotallers and look we don't know this stuff for
certain but let me just give you some names that i found that were supposedly teetotallers president
william harrison president abraham lincoln president rutherford haze and president benjamin harrison
all before the year 1900 history records that they were but here's the thing let's just put
that to the side let's say that they weren't teetotallers you know how i know for a fact
teetotalism isn't a new doctrine it's called the king james bible okay because the king james bible
teaches teetotalism it teaches abstinence of alcohol and if there was christians before the
year 1900 then there was christians rejecting alcohol don't believe this stupid life oh well
no one had pure water before the year 1900 your water didn't exist and the only way humans could
live is they had to drink alcohol to survive you really believe that who's heard that before
people say that stupid stuff oh yeah everyone i mean every single water source on earth was
just an algae pond that no one can drink and so everyone had to drink beer just to survive
you're an idiot if you think that good night no christians were not always drinking the devil's
drink that's what the world does that's what reprobates do and that's what backslidden
christians do too but i'm telling you it's the devil's drink it's not christian's drink so those
are some lies about alcohol now the more important part of the sermon is the truth truth about alcohol
what the bible teaches about alcohol and so go to proverbs chapter number 23 i'm going to give you
several statements about what the bible says about alcohol number one the bible forbids all
alcohol consumption 100 the bible does not teach it is okay to drink in moderation bible does not
say it's okay at a wedding bible doesn't say it's okay when your son graduates from college or have
a special event no it's just never okay it's always a sin 100 of the time proverbs chapter 23 look at
verse 29 bible asks these theoretical questions here it says who hath woe who hath sorrow who
hath contention who hath babbling who hath wounds without cause who hath redness of eyes now to me
when i read this i'm thinking whoever's going through all these things if i knew an individual
that had woe sorrow contentions babbling wounds without cause and redness of eyes i would look at
that person's life and i would say wow your life is cursed i'll say wow your life sucks your life
is terrible you obviously are not living with any wisdom god's hand is not on your life you're just
failing in every area you know what i wouldn't say man that person is so blessed person is so
blessed by god but that's what people say oh alcohol is a blessing from god how is it a
blessing to have all these things and we know that he's talking about alcohol because notice the next
verse they that tarry long at the wine they that go to seek mixed wine this isn't the new wine that
comes from the cluster because drinking juice doesn't make you have woe sorrow contentions
babblings and wounds without cause you know it does that the devil's drink does that alcohol does
that verse 31 look not thou upon the wine notice when meaning there's a time there's a point in time
where looking at the wine would be inappropriate would be wrong notice when that is when it is red
when it giveth his color in the cup when it moveth itself aright anyone's ever seen a glass of
alcohol before what does it do if it moves around in the cup by itself bubbling by itself that's
what this is describing alcohol that moves itself aright in the bible saying look this beverage this
type of wine is so evil is so destructive will harm your life so much you shouldn't even look at
it you shouldn't even look at it that's how dangerous it is and think about other substances
like this you know we know about the substance fentanyl it's an epidemic right now in the united
state and i'll say this fentanyl is so dangerous you shouldn't even look at it because fentanyl
is so dangerous there's been police officers that have pulled someone over and wanted to
field test some drugs in the car and they die from touching it it's so deadly that fentanyl
can literally kill you from touching it you know what i would say about fentanyl don't even look
at that stuff it's so destructive to your life it will kill you so fast stay away from it don't
even look at it but the bible is saying that about alcohol but which do you believe today
you believe the stupid world you believe the stupid billboards the stupid commercials that are
just trying to make money off of your ignorance they're telling you that oh alcohol is fun it's
how you have a good time it's how you party at a wedding are you going to believe god don't be
foolish that stuff is not okay and you know what that stuff probably kills as many people as fentanyl
too because there's a lot of things that alcohol causes where people would look at someone and say
oh this person died of a car wreck oh yeah but was that caused by being drunk or this person
died of cancer you know i'm sure all of you oklahomans know that toby keith recently died
sure you guys were having a really rough week week over that crying about and everything okay
you know what he died of stomach cancer you want to know why he got stomach cancer because he was
a drunk how do you know he's a drunk uh isn't all of his songs about alcohol whiskey for my men beer
for my horses i love this bar he's constantly singing about alcohol these country music stars
constantly are glorifying alcohol and how cool is it toby keith when you died of stomach cancer at
60 years old that's sad i don't want that for him i don't want that for anyone you know what
he should have listened to the bible look not thou upon the wine when it is red don't sing about it
don't glorify it sure as hell don't drink it don't even look at it that's how that's how
destructive it is look at verse 32 it says at the last it bite it like a serpent sting it like an
adder yeah you may have fun for a while you may think you're enjoying yourself but you know at
the end of that it's gonna bite you it's gonna sting you oh you had so much fun toby keith drinking
and partying how fun was stomach cancer i hope he saved i hope he was saved i hope he's in heaven
right now but who knows he could be in hell right now early because of drinking alcohol all of his
life you know oh alcohol is a blessing really is getting bitten by a serpent a blessing who gets
bitten by a snake and says i've just i've been blessed by god today i got bit by a snake how cool
is that oh i've been blessed by god today i killed someone's wife in a car accident in a drunk
driving accident how blessed am i hey how blessed am i that my liver doesn't work anymore how blessed
am i that my skin is yellow cirrhosis of the liver how blessed am i that i have stomach cancer
no it's getting bitten by a snake it's getting destroyed and people are self-destructing their
own lives by alcohol it's like they're inviting snakes in their home to bite them they're doing
it to themselves notice what happens when you drink verse 33 thine eyes shall behold strange
women and thine heart shall utter perverse things you know why stay away from alcohol
because it's going to cause you to do things that you normally wouldn't do it's going to cause you
to utter perverse things meaning speaking things that are wicked wrong or possibly even disgusting
that you wouldn't have ever said if you were sober you know if you've ever been around drunk people
they say some gross stupid great things and why is that a result of alcohol verse 34 ye thou
shall be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea whereas he that lieth upon the top of a mass
you know picture yourself on a boat in the middle of the ocean just the tempestuous sea
and you're on top of a mass what is it you're just being tossed to and fro right and that's
like the drunkard the drunkard's tossed to and fro he's staggering he can't walk in a straight line
he's falling on the ground and knocking his own teeth out he's falling in front of traffic and
getting run over and killed you know this kind of stuff is happening every single day in america
because of alcohol verse uh 35 they have stricken me shalt thou say and i was not sick notice you
drink alcohol you're gonna be stricken with an illness and you wouldn't have gotten sick
otherwise people are just puking their guts out when they're drinking alcohol having raging
headaches the next day when they wake up they're struck in with this illness why they did it to
themselves they weren't gonna get sick otherwise notice they have beaten me and i felt it not
you're getting these injuries that they didn't even know about and notice how foolish stupid
people that drink alcohol are he says when shall i awake i will seek it yet again and you would be
like wow you have woe you have contention sorrows babbling wounds without cause you're beholding
strange women you're uttering perverse things you're staggering a foul you're getting hurt
you know any person with any sense would be like i need to get away from this crap this is destroying
my life this is destroying my family's life this is destroying my community my country but no the
drunkard is so foolish he seeks it yet again let me tell you something people that drink alcohol
are idiots they're fools because you know what's funny is people will smoke cigarettes right and
of course smoking cigarettes is wrong and it's not healthy but you know you go up to a person that
smokes cigarettes this is probably what they're going to say man i know it's bad for me i know
it's it's not good i'm addicted to it i can't quit right at least that person is like man i know
this is bad but you know what alcoholics do when you tell them the truth about alcohol they get so
defensive it's not even funny you want to see someone get mad tell them the truth about alcohol
but it's weird because when someone says the truth about cigarettes they're just like yeah i know
why can't drunkers just be like yeah i know this is ruining my life i know it's terrible
no they want to say oh it's for your heart health oh it's a blessing oh it's great you idiot oh i
just you imagine someone doing that with cigarettes you're smoking two packs a day man this is so good
for me this is such a blessing in my life this is a blessing from god no cigarette smokers aren't
that dumb they just have an addiction but you know what people that drink alcohol are just dumb
and so if that's you please don't tell me because i think you're an idiot and god thinks you're an
idiot so fix it and stop drinking it gonna destroy your life go to proverbs 31 proverbs 31 what am
i talking about but the bible completely forbids alcohol consumption 100 proverbs 31 verse 4 says
it is not for kings oh lemuel it is not for kings to drink wine nor for princes strong drink notice
drinking alcohol it doesn't pertain to people that are kings and princes and i don't know about you
i'm trying to rule and reign with christ someday hey i'm trying to get to the judgment seat of
christ with lots of rewards so that when this millennial reign comes that i could be a king
and a prince on this earth you know what is going to stop me from doing that drinking alcohol
drinking wine why because that stuff doesn't pertain to kings and princes you think you're
going to be given rewards in the millennial reign when you drink alcohol nope doesn't pertain to
you you're not going to get to be a king and a prince with christ drink the devil's drink look
what happens verse five lest they drink and forget the law and pervert the judgment of any of the
afflicted it's like what if someone came up to you and said hey man i got this really cool drink
oh yeah what does it do it causes you to forget the bible and to become a pervert in your judgment
oh cool what a blessing but that's what alcohol is it says it causes you to forget the law referring
to god's word why would christians want to drink something that the bible says causes you to forget
the bible where john level says oh drink alcohol to remember jesus liar the bible says when you
drink alcohol you forget the law you really think people are thinking about jesus christ
when they're drinking alcohol that's the furthest thing from their mind no what they're thinking
about is committing adultery on their spouse no what they're thinking about is beating their kids
no what they're thinking about is just killing someone or getting in a fight out of a drunken
anger that was caused by the devil's drink that they were drinking no what they're thinking about
is perverting judgment that's what they're thinking they're not thinking about christ so who has
alcohol for look at verse six give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish and wine unto
those that be of heavy hearts let him drink and forget his poverty and poverty and remember his
misery no more notice who is alcohol for it's for people that are actively dying or who are
complete losers with nothing to live for it's like you know before morphine and modern medicine
it used to be that in combat oh you just got blue blown up and you're you lost two legs it's like
here's some whiskey it's like that's different you're not trying to get drunk and have a good
time you're just trying to like not be an extreme amount of pain just to survive right that's what
he's saying give strong drink on him that's ready to perish like oh sorry buddy you lost
both your legs you're bleeding out let's try to ease your pain a little bit right it's like
morphine okay or under those that be of heavy hearts let him drink and forget his poverty and
remember his misery no more losers people that are of heavy hearts have nothing to live for look
we're christians we're children of the lord jesus christ hey i don't have a heavy heart because i'm
saved god is my father i'm going to heaven when i die yeah there's times in our lives where we get
depressed and down but in general christians should not be categorized as people that have heavy hearts
no we should be the happiest people on this earth so why would i drown sorrows in a bottle no that's
ridiculous i would rather just get people saved you know let's find those people that are miserable
losers get them saved so they become a winner they can go to heaven they don't have to be losers
anymore here's another truth number two there is not a single positive mention of alcohol in the
bible you could i could show you verses where it says wine is a blessing but it's talking about
the wine found in the cluster talking about juice but you cannot find one single positive mention of
alcohol doesn't exist the bible is very clear it's only a negative thing go to proverbs chapter
number three proverbs chapter number three i can show you positive mention of juice here's one of
them verse nine proverbs three verse nine honor the lord with thy substance and with the first
fruits of all thine increase so shall thy barns be filled with plenty and thy presses shall burst
out with new wine what is that talking about that is talking about juice okay the bible saying hey
honor the lord with thy substance give tithe unto the lord give offerings unto the lord and as a
result of doing that god is going to bless your life your barns are going to be filled with plenty
you're always going to have what you need you're tithing to the lord he's always going to take care
of you and hey even sometimes your presses will burst out with new ones you know there isn't
there times especially here in america where man we're living great compared to the rest of the
world you know even even the people that are in poverty in the united states they could still
afford juice which was for kings in times past right and so that that is a true promise in the
bible that we see filled in our lives go to proverbs chapter number 20 but there's a positive
mention of wine what is it talking about it's talking about juice that wouldn't make any sense
think about all those verses we just read how contradictory would that be in the bible if the
bible gives us those extreme warnings about alcohol hey it's going to cause you to forget the bible
by the way alcohol is a blessing it's like is this a joke of a religion that wouldn't even make sense
the bible is very consistent with itself now notice when it's talking about alcohol though
in proverbs 20 verse 1 it says wine is a mocker strong drink is raging whosoever is deceived
thereby is not notice wine alcohol here it's personified as a person that would make fun of
you for being an idiot why because people that drink alcohol are idiots so like the bible's
kind of personifying wine where it's like deceiving you wine is trying to make you think that it's
good and then you drink and you get in a car crash and wine's like ha ha moron fool it's like laughing
at you that's what the bible's saying there saying whosoever is deceived thereby is not
wise what is wisdom anyways applied knowledge so who's the wise person the person that understands
the bible teaches that alcohol is never acceptable and then decides never to drink alcohol that's the
wise person who's the person that's not wise the one that drinks the devil's drink go to proverbs
23 proverbs 23 verse 20 proverbs 23 verse 20 it says be not among winebibber among riotous eaters
of flesh make this make sense for me drunks how is it okay to drink alcohol the bible says not even
to be around people to drink alcohol make it make sense it doesn't because the bible always
forbids it go to genesis chapter number nine genesis chapter number nine let's look at the
first story of alcohol in the bible and again what am i talking about i'm talking about the fact that
there's no positive mentions about zero when something is mentioned in the bible for the first
time usually it's very significant especially god wants us to make note of that and take close
attention to that and this is the first story of alcohol in the bible genesis chapter number nine
verse 20 and noah began to be in husband men and planted a vineyard and he drank of the wine and
was drunk by using context here this is obviously talking about alcohol now it does say that he
planted a vineyard and he drank of the wine but since he told us he was drunken we're reading
between the lines here he obviously fermented this stuff he obviously changed the stuff to make it
alcohol why because it's impossible to get drunk off of actual juice okay so he got drunk off of
alcohol and he was noticed uncovered within his tent that's something drunk people do a lot to
start taking their clothes off why because they're perverting judgment they're not making good
decisions anymore because they're under the influence of the devil's drink verse 22 and ham
father of canaan saw the nakedness of his father told his two brethren without and shem and jfeth
took a garment laid it upon both their shoulders went backward covered the nakedness of their
father and their faces were backward and they saw not their father's nakedness notice ham he looks
at his father's nakedness goes and tells his brothers but then shem and jfeth they don't
want to look at their father naked that's perverted that's gross so they kind of like take
a blanket both of them holding each side and they kind of walk backwards to lay it on him so they
don't have to look on their father's nakedness but notice verse number 24 says and noah awoke
from his wine and knew what his younger son ham had done now i i thank god that the bible spares
us the gory disgusting graphic details of what this is talking about but look looking at someone
is not doing something through that no this is talking about something perverted this is talking
about ham carnally taking advantage of his father being a sodomer being a pervert that's the first
mention of alcohol in the bible god's saying hey you want to see what alcohol is like it's like a
bunch of faggots taking advantage of you and doing sick things to you because you're under the influence
now stay there but actually go to genesis 19 i'll read for you habakkuk 215 says woe unto him that
give it his neighbor drink that put us thy bottle to him and make us him drunken also that thou mayst
look on their naked again that euphemism looking on their nakedness being used to describe sodomite
that looks at his neighbor gives his neighbor a drink puts his bottle to him talking a male
with another male a faggot getting another person drunk to molest them you hurt them and several
several years ago in high school i took this law enforcement class and the instructor was a former
sheriff deputy and he told the story about this case that he had investigated where this person
in college was going to the doctor because this person was having a bunch of health problems
with his stomach with his bowel and he couldn't figure out what was wrong with this guy he couldn't
figure out what was wrong with him and the doctor finally just said like hey if you want to stop
having these problems you should stop being a sodomy that's not the exact words he used
but he said hey stop being a sodomy and this guy is straight he's like oh are you talking about
like he gets angry at the doctor what are you accusing me of right but it came to find out
that this guy's roommate was a queer that was getting him drunk and taking advantage of him
and he didn't even know it was happening that's how inebriated that's how drunk he was and so
that's a story that matches exactly what Habakkuk is telling you happen that stuff happens in real
life not just stories in the Bible no God gave us these things for a reason to warn us Genesis
19 here's another story alcohol in the Bible Genesis 19 verse 29 says and it came to pass when
God destroyed the cities of the plane that God remembered Abraham and sent Lot out of the midst
of the overthrow when he overthrew the cities in which Lot dwelt and Lot went up out of Zohar and
dwelt in the mountain and his two daughters with him for he feared to dwell in Zohar and he dwelt
in a cave he and his two daughters and his firstborn said unto the younger our father is old and
there is not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth come let us make
our father drink wine and we will lie with him that we may preserve seed of our father notice
these twisted perverted girls wanted to defile their father to lie carnally with their father
how disgusting i mean what in the world is going on here but what tool do they use to
commit this horrific crime alcohol alcohol why because it just completely deadens your senses
and it's possible to get so drunk on wine that you don't even know where you are you don't
know what you're doing and when you wake up you don't remember anything that happened and so lot's
own daughter was able to lie carnally with their own father by the use of alcohol oh but alcohol
is a blessing let's drink it at parties let's drink it at weddings so we can all become pervert
like the bible what a what a stupid lie verse 33 and they made their father drink wine that night
and the firstborn went in and lay with her father and he perceived not when she lay down nor when
she arose notice lot did not perceive that this happened he would have asked lot did you do this
he'd been like what are you talking about it's like that kid in college what are you talking
about i don't know what you're talking about no he didn't perceive it because he was drunk
verse 34 and it came to pass on the morrow that the firstborn said unto the younger behold i lie
yesterday night with my father let us make him drink wine this night also go thou in and lie
with him we may preserve seed of our father they made their father drink wine that night also
younger arose and lay with him he perceived not when she lay down nor when she arose thus were
both the daughters of lot with child by their father once again this happens two nights in a
row and both times the bible says that lot did not even see what was going on and he ended up
magnating his own daughters he became his own grandpa like willy nelson talks about in one
night why because of the perversion of the devil's drink because the devil's drink causing him to not
be able to perceive to not have right judgment and he's taken advantage of by his own daughters look
if you are around people that are drinking alcohol you are in a dangerous place i don't care if it's
your family around you i don't care if it's your cousins or your uncles or your co-workers you're
around people drinking alcohol those are now dangerous people even if they're good people
when they're sober it doesn't matter because they're a different person now why because
they're drinking the devil's drink now and nothing good ever happens with this garbage go to first
corinthians chapter number five first corinthians chapter number five talking about how hey there's
not a single positive mention of alcohol in the bible verse 11 of first corinthians five says
but now i have written unto you not to keep company any man that is called a brother be a
fornicator or covetous or an idolater or a railer notice or a drunkard or an extortioner such in one
no not again god wants to protect us god wants to take care of us and god's saying look if there's
someone that's in church that's a brother in christ that is a drunkard don't even eat around
that person this person is dangerous this person will destroy a church a little leaven leaven it the
whole lump if we just have brother so-and-so in here that's looked up to by the members of this
church that's a drunkard and what kind of message are we sending to everyone else oh well it's okay
to drink them because brother so-and-so does but no rather the bible says don't even eat why well
because he's a dangerous individual now and because you want to set the right example to
everyone else in the church saying hey we want nothing to do with alcohol nothing to do with it
and if you are a drunkard we will literally shun you people love to hate that word oh you're cold
you shun people we'll shun you you drink alcohol you're drunk i want nothing to do with you
lose my number we're not friends anymore until you repent about we don't want to hear about
people drinking alcohol verse 12 but what have i to do to judge them also that are without do you not
judge them that are within them that are without god judge it therefore put away from among
yourselves that wicked person look drinking alcohol will get you out of church and what will destroy
your life faster than getting kicked out of church man we need church i need church and if i didn't
have the local assembly life would suck what what is there to do in this life besides church
anyway what is there to do in this life besides serve god anyways nothing it's all vanity it's
all pointless it's all meaningless no i want to be in god's house right dab in the middle of god's
will and that's what i want for all of you too so don't drink alcohol because it will destroy
your life first greatest five verse five look to deliver such and one unto satan notice for the
destruction of the flesh that the spirit may be saved in the day of the lord jesus the bible
saying hey if you get kicked out of church god is just giving you unto satan to allow him to destroy
your flesh you know if you decide to not listen to the message and you just want to be a drunk
and you get to end up getting kicked out of church the devil is going to come after you and he is
going to destroy your life and it's going to be your own fault don't be a fool don't be like toby
keith and end up having to die a young death by getting your flesh literally destroyed that's what
he that's what happened to him his flesh was destroyed his stomach was eaten by cancer because
of alcohol don't let that happen to you bible never has a positive mention of alcohol not only
that but number three you never see anything good happen in real life when alcohol is involved not
only do we just see like the bible says no bible always says it's wrong there's not even a single
positive mention of alcohol in the bible but not only that just reality itself we just look at the
world we see that nothing good ever comes from the devil's drink okay i want to give you some
statistics i've got a lot of statistics i just want to read off here and this comes from the
national institute on alcohol abuse and alcoholism and it just has a crazy amount of statistics
regarding alcohol consumption in the united states i just found this stuff very interesting
because boy does this not match what the tv wants to show you movies want to show you but look at
this reality here it says each year there are more than 140 000 deaths approximately 97 000 male
deaths 43 000 female deaths attributed to excessive alcohol use now i would say it's probably way more
than that because alcohol causes you to do other things that kills you but this is just saying
directly as a result of alcohol this makes alcohol one of the leading preventable causes of death in
the united states buying tobacco poor diet and physical inactivity and illegal drugs notice
drinking alcohol is one of the deadliest things in america and it's 100 preventable no one has
to drink alcohol but yet 140 000 people are dying every year directly contributed to alcohol
consumption i wonder how many of those people went to hell wonder how many of those people went to
hell that could have gotten saved if they were reached before they died in early death maybe this
is why the devil's drink maybe this is why it's the the vine of sodom because the devil wants to
destroy people's lives the devil wants people to die and go to hell and alcohol is a great tool to
do because it is causing people to die early deaths so many of them go to hell an analysis
of death certificates from 2019 and 2020 showed that deaths involving alcohol rose from approximately
79 000 to more than 99 000 25.5 percent notice in 2020 there's a 25 percent increase of death
from alcohol so this is a problem that's not getting better in our society as we have more
information and more knowledge you think oh we've become more of a civilized nation and we understand
more science and we care more about health no alcohol is actually getting worse today than it
was yesterday more people are drinking now more people are dying from alcohol now than ever before
and what a sad statistic that is between 2015 and 2019 the leading causes of alcohol attributable
deaths due to chronic conditions in the u.s were liver diseases cardiovascular diseases
cancer cancers of the organs of the upper respiratory and digestive tracts
liver colon and breast cancer and alcohol use disorder so notice the leading cause of alcohol
attributing death is alcohol destroying your throat getting throat cancer getting tongue cancer
getting mouth cancer getting stomach cancer liver cancer getting breast cancer i mean alcohol
it's a poison folks you're literally poisoning yourself you're literally destroying your own
flesh when you're drinking alcohol and causing your body eat itself alive and here's the thing
that has got to be a gruesome painful death dying of cancer like that i mean that has to be horrible
but that's what people are doing when they drink alcohol they think it's fun for the time but
it's not going to be fun the way they end their life in 20 in 2021 alcohol impaired driving
fatalities accounted for 13 384 deaths 31 percent of all driving fatalities so about three in ten
driving fatalities are directly caused by alcohol that's insane and think about how selfish drunk
idiots are they get on the road after they have drunk a bunch of poison they're inebriated they're
drunk and then they go out on the road and they kill your wife they kill your mother they kill
your son they kill your grandmother completely innocent person because they're a lazy drunk
idiots that destroys their own life and everyone's life around them can you start to see why the
bible says get away from these people be not among wine vipers don't even let them in the church
it's such a wicked sin that destroys society according to the most recent estimate from the
cdc 21 of suicide decedents have blood alcohol concentrations of 0.1 percent or more or 0.1
percent or more so 21 of the people when they're deciding to take their own lives they're doing it
while they're drinking a number of patients with alcohol associated liver disease who are listed
for liver transplants increased by 63 from 2007 to 2017 in 2016 ald replaced hepatitis c virus
infection as the leading cause of liver transplantation due to chronic liver disease
research has shown that people who misuse alcohol have a greater risk of liver disease
heart disease depression stroke stomach bleeding as well as cancers of the oral cavity esophagus
larynx barracks liver colon and rectum these individuals may also have problems managing
conditions such as diabetes high blood pressure pain and sleep disorders misusing alcohol may
also lead to the likelihood of unsafe terminal practice just absolutely destroying people's lives
destroying their body causing them to get a bunch of STDs causing them to get cancer because this
alcohol consumption is associated with increased risk of drowning and injuries from violence
falls and motor vehicle crashes alcohol consumption is also associated with an increased
risk of female cancer as well so you know we've all heard the stories oh these bunch of rednecks
are out on the lake drinking beer and they get in a boating accident they all drown and die
why they didn't have to die why they die alcohol the devil's drink that's why approximately 10.5
percent of u.s children ages 17 and younger live with a parent who has an alcohol use disorder
it just means they're drunk so one in 10 children in the u.s has a parent that is a boy is that
setting them up that's setting the next generation up to failure when a bunch of dads don't even
love their own children enough to abstain from the devil's drink hey even if you like it what
about your children you even care about them you even care about what their future is going to
look like you want their future to look like this give that crap up reject alcohol you know we see
very clearly that reality matches what the bible says and hey trust in the lord with all
thine heart and lean not unto thine own understanding in all thy ways acknowledge
him and he shall direct thy path i have to be honest when i first heard the bible's doctrine
on alcohol it was a little hard for me to believe because i had people in my life that
seemed like they were the acceptance i'm hearing all this preaching about alcohol is going to make
you do this alcohol is going to make you do that in my own life i the people that i knew that drank
i wasn't seeing that match reality until one day then it matched reality and that's the thing you
may think like well you know i drink or i know someone that drinks and the things that you're
talking about that doesn't happen to me it will it absolutely will because i went through almost
two decades of my life thinking that the people i knew were the exception to the rule till one day
they worked and their lives were destroyed irreparably till the day they die the damage
done by alcohol will not be repaired because of drunkenness it'll destroy your marriage you know
you could you could think like oh my wife and i we drink and nothing happens yeah until that one day
you get drunk and someone says something makes you mad and you start beating your wife and guess what
that'll change your life god forbid kill yourself you don't think that happens it does happen or
you know you get so drunk blacked out drunk that you're supposed to be watching your kids
and you fall asleep and they get into something and accidentally die that happens all the time
people getting high or doing drugs they fall asleep they wake up their kids are dead that
literally happens all the time so we see hey it matches reality go to first timothy chapter four
first timothy chapter four is the last verse that we go to first timothy chapter four let's read
verse number 12 it says let no man despise thy youth but be thou an example of the believers in
word in conversation in charity spirit faith we as christians have to be the example to the rest of
the world on this issue we need to be the example to other christians we need to be the example to
the world and not let these stupid calvinists or these rock and roll niv non-denominational churches
