NewGood Point

Tue, 01/28/14

The point of this article, however, is to present the other view on alcohol – the one calling for a higher standard, the one where the Christian can never be alcohol’s victim or fall prey to regret for its use, the one that humbly sets the best example in a world of substance addictions and other related perils, the one that calls for total abstinence of its recreational use. Too much is at stake to for any other position.

I wholeheartedly agree on this score.

Tyler is a pastor in Olympia, WA and works in State government.

Thanks, Jim.

And thanks for posting the article, Christians and Alcohol: An Abstinent View.”

In my humble opinion, Mark Creech is an outstanding writer. Hope everyone reads his article.

Hope they will check out ACAP as well.

While I disagree with the author’s reasoning and conclusions, it was a thoughtful approach to how he has arrived at his personal convictions. Well done.
