Faith and Alcohol: The Church's Dilemma
My friends, sobriety is another way of communicating that we are walking in the light and in the truth of God's word, rather than being blind and deceived as those who are intoxicated with alcohol.
Ever wondered how faith communities handle the topic of alcohol? In this episode of 'Take 12 Recovery Radio', Monty Dale Meyer, better known as the Monty'man, tackles a hot-button issue: alcohol consumption among Christians, especially those in leadership roles. Monty'man doesn't shy away from controversy as he questions whether believers should drink at all.
He delves into biblical teachings and challenges the idea that moderation is acceptable, arguing that the Bible condemns intoxication and that alcohol can lead to a slew of problems, from social issues to serious legal consequences like involuntary manslaughter. This episode isn't just for churchgoers; it's for anyone grappling with the role of alcohol in their lives.
Monty'man urges listeners to consider sobriety as a way to walk in the light of God's word and set a positive example for others. It's a thought-provoking discussion that may make you rethink your own views on drinking.
