Proverbs 23
23:31-32 "Do not gaze at wine when it is red, when it sparkles in the cup, when it goes down smoothly! In the end it bites like a snake and poisons like a viper." In this chapter God spends a significant amount of time warning us about the deceptive power of alcohol. Look at the words used in Scripture "bites like a snake and poisons like a viper." This is something that might be hard for some of you to read because you have been hurt by the affects of alcohol in someway. The sad thing is also that it is more prevalent than ever before in our culture. So is there someone you know that struggles? Are you being a good example of Jesus to them? Are you praying for them?

I know someone, actually 2 people, that drank beer nonstop. I don't actually know if they ever got drunk around me but my parents have just told me how they always drank beer and stuff. Lately though, they have gotten better. They don't drink as much as they used to which is great. Neither of them are Christians but I'm pretty sure that they once were when they were younger. We pray for them to know the Lord cause I really don't want them to go to Hell.
