Give Me the Bible - Lesson 19 - Because It Enables Me to Confront Alcohol Usage - Bill Goring

from 39th St Church of Christ Podcast · host 39thStreetChurchofChrist

In this episode, we examine how the Bible enables us to confront false ideas about alcohol usage. When we open God's Word with honest and careful study, cultural myths and personal justifications cannot stand against the truth that Scripture provides. The apostle Paul reminds us in 2 Timothy 2:15 (KJV): "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." This call to diligent study is exactly what equips us to address and correct the misconceptions that have surrounded this topic. Whether it is the pressure of social norms or the misunderstanding of Christian liberty, a deep dive into the Word offers the clarity we need. When we commit ourselves to what the Bible actually says, we find that God's Word is sufficient to answer every false claim and strengthen our confidence in Scripture as our reliable and authoritative guide for living a life of sobriety and discernment.
