    Should a Christian drink alcohol in moderation? What is "the whole counsel of God" concerning wine and alcoholic drinks? How does a believer make a scriptural "Risk Assessment" and wise choices about drinking alcohol? This message explores those issues.

A son whose far away fighting in a war; a father or mother who writes to tells us the illness has passed; a sister who informs us the baby has finally arrived. But there are also those letters that we would never like to ...read more
