Return to Word of God Part 3
I first want to say I am sorry for missing yesterday. I had a great day in the woods turkey hunting and held revival services and never did have the net where I could use it. Well let's get to the Word of God.
A third example of where our so called Christian nation is proving that we are not following God is our abuse of drugs and alcohol. We have reached a time where the abuse of these items is basically helping destroy our country. What does God have to say about this?
Isaiah 28:7 (New King James Version)
7 But they also have erred through wine,
And through intoxicating drink are out of the way;
The priest and the prophet have erred through intoxicating drink,
They are swallowed up by wine,
They are out of the way through intoxicating drink;
They err in vision, they stumble in judgment.
29 Who has woe?
Who has sorrow?
Who has contentions?
Who has complaints?
Who has wounds without cause?
Who has redness of eyes?
30 Those who linger long at the wine,
Those who go in search of mixed wine.
31 Do not look on the wine when it is red,
When it sparkles in the cup,
When it swirls around smoothly;
32 At the last it bites like a serpent,
And stings like a viper.
33 Your eyes will see strange things,
And your heart will utter perverse things.
34 Yes, you will be like one who lies down in the midst of the sea,
Or like one who lies at the top of the mast, saying:
35 “ They have struck me, but I was not hurt;
They have beaten me, but I did not feel it.
When shall I awake, that I may seek another drink?|”
I am amazed at how on target God's word is even though it was penned thousands of years ago. Now the argument I always get about alcohol is this. God's word doesn't just come out and say do not drink or do not take drugs. But God's word is clear that our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit and we are to take care of these temples. If you start to get a buzz then you are destroying the temple and this is sin. How many folks do you know that drink one beer or glass of wine and quit??? Me too....none. There whole point of drinking is to obtain that buzz. This is wrong!
Drugs are destroying our country. The meth epidemic is out of control. The border war with Mexico is largely in part of America dependence on drugs...cocaine, pot, ect. The use of drugs for folks is there Jesus. That is where they obtain their so called peace....and guess what they will never find it there!
Jesus Christ should be where we get our high! He brings the peace that everyone is looking for. Give Him a try and find out for yourself!
Oh yeah 84% of our country claims to be Christian....what do you think?
Love ya brothers and sisters!
