Hosea chapter 4 (TEV)

11 The Lord says, "Wine, both old and new, is robbing my people of their senses!"


I grew up in a city that undergo many changes. There are new businesses  going up every day.  Some businesses provide positive services, while other just catered to the destruction of society.  In every block of my city there is a liquor store. In every aspect of life, the venom of alcohol have seep into the lives of everyone.  In my lifetime, I have seen  many negative effects that alcohol have on people, christians and non christians alike.


Currently, my very own cousin is possessed by this poison. His relationship with me is severed, because he continuously destroy himself and the people around him. It's hard to help people, that choose this path of self-destruction.


Definitely, you can see I'm not a fan of alcohol.  I'm not totally against it, but I'm against the abuse of it.  As christian we should not let alcohol or any addictions take hold of our lives. is the only water that truly satisfy our thirst."


I just hope you agree with me that alcohol is bad.  Please don't get fool by the glamor and illusions of alcohol.  If you don't believe me that alcohol is bad for you, check out this link.
