The Christian and His Country

First things first...Our nation's first need is not economic or political—it is spiritual. And our first work must be prayer. We need God! Will you join us in doing the most important work?

Believers often get burdened for their country. The need is great! What can be done? In the Old Testament story of Lot we find a man who failed to do what he could have done. This is a warning for us all. Today we identify 3 things that every Christian can do for their country.

Every person must choose for themselves what they will put into their body and how they will live. The one thing you cannot choose is the consequences. One simple test will help you to make a wise decision on this and other issues.

Throughout the Bible God commands those who desire holiness to abstain from alcohol. This is not just for leaders; this is for all of Christ's followers who want to avoid the distractions of this world. Everyone gives their strength to something. It is tragic to give your strength to something that will only make you weak.

This passage provides one of the most vivid descriptions anywhere of what is commonly referred to as a "hangover." See what the world calls "addiction" from the viewpoint of God. Some things never change.

You do not consume alcohol—it consumes you. Fermented drinks take from lives, families, and society much more than they could ever give. Look hard at the effects and choose a different path.

Alcohol, like Satan and all of his temptations, promises what it cannot fulfill. It lies and laughs at those who believe its lies. A man who loved wine tells his story. Solomon filled himself with strong drink and found it to be an empty way to live.
