To drink or not to drink? That is the question | Feat. Joshua Stewart

Is this the most pervasive question that exists within the christian community? Especially among the younger generations. It is no question that we live in a world that is morally lapsing left, right and centre, particularly in the area of ALCOHOLISM and DRUNKENNESS. However, our response to this as Gods bride has been so poor, we either enter staunch legalism mode or permissible Peter mode. "Drink whatever you want and how much you want!," "If one drop even touches your lips you are a hopeless heathen." We lack the authority and compassion of Christ greatly when it comes to alcohol. In this podcast we address this topic through conversation in the hope that we might learn, be taught, rebuked, corrected and trained.
