    Jesus knew about strong drink. His whole life was but a preparation to drink, not a jigger, but a full cup down to the last dregs.

    Many times as believers we fail to realize that one of the greatest weapons we have against hell is our testimony. Your testimony makes you a threat to hell, so open your mouth and testify.
