Abe Lincoln Said That Alcohol Has Many Defenders, ...
Contributed by Sermon Central on Oct 9, 2008 (message contributor)
Abe Lincoln said that alcohol has many defenders, but has no defense. With so many defenders telling you why you should drink let me stand up here this morning and tell you that you should not drink.
PROVERBS 23:31 says to not even look at alcohol! How much stronger can you tell someone to stay away from something? God does not want you to drink.
There is an old Chinese proverb that says: 'First man takes a drink, and then drinks takes the man.'
From a sermon by Bruce Ball, "GET BEHIND ME, SATAN!" 7/29/2008
