American's Drinking Themselves to Death!

Two Major Liberal Newspapers Document the Tragedies of Alcohol

Just two days before Christmas 2015, the article from the Washington Post was reprinted in the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Both of these big-city newspapers brandished the headline and then gave meticulous detail of this entrenched national tragedy. These papers are certainly not Christian. No one would accuse them of some fundamental Baptist bias or attack them as "Bible thumpers." But the article was forthright in its presentation of the facts.

They report that "new federal data" shows death from "alcohol-induced causes" last year (2014) was more than thirty thousand people. In addition, when you include death from drunk driving and other accidents and homicides where drinking is a factor, the total "would be closer to ninety thousand."

The Sword of the Lord has been relentless through all the years in exposing the dangers of alcohol as well as the evil associated with it. For our stand, we have been branded as fanatical by a variety of people. Despite the fact that our views on alcohol are unpopular with a lot of people, we have continued to speak loudly and speak often about it.

Now we have the Centers for Disease Control and two very liberal, secular papers who are providing this evidence for the public that makes our position look very good.

A Lot of Christians Have Gone Soft on Alcohol.

Many Christians now try to rationalize the use of alcohol in moderation. 

Such thinking is not sound. Furthermore, it flies in the face of some very clear Bible instructions against it.

In this day, we do not need to give into the liquor lobby and to the carnal propensities of the flesh. We need to be standing up, speaking clearly, and sounding off against alcohol in all its forms.
