Well my birthday was yesterday and I turned 21 years old and I had several people ask me hey did you get drunk or drink on that day? I was like no!! They then began to ask why and I told them that is just not something that I would find myself doing. The world makes everyone think that since you turn 21 years old it should be okay to drink now and that you are legal well that is true in the eyes of the world but to God you should not be drunk. There are several versus that I would like to share about why God would say that being drunk is not something that as christians that we should see our selves doing. The first one would be Ephensians 5:18, it goes to say "And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit". The next one is 1 Peter 5:8 and it reads, "Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour." Those versuses speak to me because we should not get drunk but be filled with his spirit and lots of people do not understand that and go away drinking anyway and do not care about the outcome. God also saids our bodies are God's temple and if my body is God's temple why would I want to put a substance like beer in my body or take drugs . When you are doing that you are just doing damage to God's temple and that is just not right. The lord wants us to be filled with his spirit and the things that the world offers such as alchol are not going to be a good thing to fill you at all. So let's all try today and the rest of our lives to not damage God's temple but to fill it with wonderful things such as his spirit and word and good things so that God is pleased with us full heartly. I just had to talk about that because people keep asking me why and I am not trying to offend anyone by writing this, I am just trying to show people what the word of God saids and what God thinks about people drinking alchol. Thank you for reading this today and I hope it helped to inspire you and answer any questions that you had about drinking alchol.
