LOSERS BEFORE GOD? Pro 23:19-21 MKJV 19 My son, hear and be wise, and guide your heart in the way. 20 Do not be among Those who drink much wine, among gluttons for flesh for themselves, 21 for the drunkard and the glutton lose all, and sleepiness shall clothe a man with rags. This is the shocking truth - pastors, ministry leaders, and the ordinary Christians get drunk and over-indulge in excesses. Too many. But why? But it is not about being able to hold the drink and manage the drunkenness that exudes through blood shot eyes and slur speech and loose talk, to try maintain a steady gait, and to keep your place in the crowd. It is about what God sees in this, even if others do not see. It is not just losing your dignity in drunkenness and excesses before God, but it is also losing all that He has placed so much hope in you. Because He says, "You lost it all." It is hard and humiliating to be called a loser, but He says it. ------------------------------------------------------------------- If this ministers to even just one soul, it is worth saying it. ------------------------------------------------------------------- lcj
