Why Christians Shouldn't Drink Alcohol, Part Three

Thank you for joining us as we discuss why Christians shouldn't drink alcohol. We recommend you start from the beginning of the series...here!

Alcohol Leads You Into Sin

"Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter perverse things."—Proverbs 23:33

Adultery easily results when the mind is polluted with alcohol. When the mind is under the control of alcohol, "perverse" things are much more likely to occur.

Alcohol Distorts Reality

"yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea, or as he that lieth upon the top of a mast. They have stricken me, shalt thou say, and I was not sick; they have beaten me, and I felt it not: when shall I awake? I will seek it yet again."—Proverbs 23:34-35

When you take alcohol into your body, your mind is adversely affected. Who lies "down in the midst of the sea" to take a nap? Who tries to lie down to sleep high atop the rigging of a ship's sails? Only the guy under the influence would do so because his thinking is warped by the alcohol in his system.
