Last Lord's Day I listened to a sermon preached from 1 Cor. 6.1-8 about Christian freedom. During the sermon a point was made about drinking and alcohol consumption, that it was definitely not a good thing to partake in because you are simply pleasing the flesh, living carnally, etc. and being a bad Christian witness to the world and other Christians. A portion from Philippians 2 was quoted from the KJV, "Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves."

The passage from 1 Cor. 6 is about sexual immorality...can one exegetically get to drinking is immoral or should be avoided from this passage? The portion from Philippians seems to be saying, "don't do things to impress people or seek your own glory." Isn't that passage essentially saying don't conform the world to impress them...like, you know...avoiding drinking as if it is immoral?

Yours in the Lord,

I just know too many teetotaler Christians that are very proud of the fact that they don't drink, and they want everyone to know because its a source of Phariseeical pride for them. Sort of like the parable of the Publican and the Tax collector. "Lord, I thank God that I am not a drinker like those people".

New Capri basket pipe!

 

[JustAsIam77]

Nice looking pipe, what kind of tobacco will you pack it with?

 

[JM]

Not sure yet...I've been trying to get my hands on some Mississippi River but it's sold out online. I might hold off until I can get a tin of it...

 

[JM]

Kind of late but...drinks are me tonight! Gord has an 11 week old at home so let's celebrate the goodness of God with a wee sip of something strong.

From a review of Mississippi River tobacco..



"smoking it a few months later a description came to mind to describe the sweetness ... its like the caramelized edge of a chocolate chip cookie. Yum".

 

[JM]

Sounds great. The local B&M is soldout, soldout online...I'll wait until it's back in stock.

Still racking up my mileage for the December marathon; this weekend for me, a lot more running, relaxing, catch up on a lot of my reading.

 

[JM]

I miss running. Biking is enjoyable but not the same. Have a safe run GQ.
