Prv: Gluttony

[bcbsr]

GLUTTONY

Pr 28:7 Whoever keeps the law is a discerning son, But a companion of gluttons shames his father.

Pr 23:20,21 Do not mix with winebibbers, Or with gluttonous eaters of meat; For the drunkard and the glutton will come to poverty, And drowsiness will clothe a man with rags.

Gluttony and drunkenness go hand in hand along with other sorts of over-indulgence. It says in Eph 5:18 "do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation." "Dissipation" means wastefulness. In fact today getting drunk is spoken of as "getting wasted". But along with drunkenness there are other ways people are involved in wasting their lives and their possessions.

[.Jeremiah.]

John 6:53-55 53Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. 54Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. 55For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.

Here we are told “what” to eat and drink.

This food and drink will nourish us.

So, what food and drink will result in gluttony and drunkenness?
