Don't Drink Responsibly
I’m grateful to Josh Franklin for writing this book.” - Dr. Johnny Hunt (former president of SBC)
The beer and alcohol advertisements tell us, “Please Drink Responsibly” after pushing their liquor on our society. They say, “Moderation is the answer” to the alcohol problems that plague us. The answer for today’s society is not moderation, but abstinence: “Don’t Drink Responsibly!” My prayer is that we would not build our convictions about alcohol from the culture around us, but allow the Word of God to guide us toward an informed, Christian conviction that advocates abstinence, not moderation.

"Nothing is as wonderful as knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. I have given up everything else and count it as garbage. All I want is Christ and to know that I belong to Him...God accepted me simply because of my faith in Christ." (Philippians 3:8-9, CEV)
