Nathan:

Wine is a mocker, Strong drink is a brawler,

And whoever is led astray by it is not wise.

Solomon. Proverbs 20:1. Hi, it’s Nathan, and this is Day 19 of 30 Days of Wisdom. Everybody does it. It’s cool. It’s what you do after a long day at work—or over a long weekend or at a holiday bash. Here’s the bottom line—if you need alcohol, there’s some place in your life where you’re simply not coping. Something is unresolved. Find resolution there, and you won’t need the alcohol anymore. God can help you find a better way, an authentic way to wholeness. And, I’d also challenge you if you’re an occasional drinker—of any alcoholic beverage. Here’s a question: I don’t care how well you manage your drinking, do you really want to fuel the most destructive industry in America? There is no single substance consumed that is connected to so much destruction in our society as alcohol. Do you want to have any part of that? Do you really want to influence anyone else to be a part of that? Do you really want to say that’s ok?
