WOUNDS FROM WINE

” Who hath woe? Who hath sorrow? Who hath contentions? Who hath babbling?
Who hath wound without cause? Who hath redness of eyes? They that tarry long at the wine ;
they that go to seek mixed wine” (proverb 23:29-30). Woe? Sorrow? Contentions? Babbling?
Wound without cause and redness of eyes what an army of evils that drunkenness alone
offers it’s captive! This was why Ray comfort said, “A man who gives himself to the
demon of alcohol becomes a slave to its addictive properties. It mocks him it steals
his dignity.it takes control of his will.” While watching a television advertisement
many years ago, a smart teenager correctly spotted the advertisers trick: frequent
repetition of a phrase, that the particular beer was good. Recognizing the deception
in the advert , the boy also repeatedly queried , “please tell us how your product
may nourish one’s body” Well, that question seems aptly answered by our Bible text
six-fold evil is what alcohol.
