Is drinking a SIN?

from Unfiltered with Matt Farnsworth Hosted by Matt Farnsworth

Matt Farnsworth reflects on his 12+ years of sobriety and uses Proverbs to explain how addiction begins in the mind — with the gaze and the craving — not the swallow. He shares personal stories, warns against negotiating with sin, and offers hope through changing masters and spiritual discipline.
