Dan Nelson May 16 at 6:19 PM  · How is Alcohol a Deceiver?Prov 20:1 Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise. (There are so many problems associated with alcohol consumption that it is best to leave it alone. Even in days when the culture had wine as a common beverage, the Proverb says it can deceive. We see the deception of alcohol today. Many say that drinking is alright since it is culturally acceptable. The big argument is they did it in the Bible. and many religious groups not only endorse it but use it in their” communion” services. I don’t pretend to know the alcohol content back then because I wasn’t there. I have read articles, though, saying it was not as much and the potential for alcoholism was less. But today, there are a lot of bad things associated with alcohol. While many would use it to celebrate and at sporting events, others know the terror of a loved one killed by a drunk driver or the crime and problems associated with it for youth and those who become alcoholics.Then there is testimony to others like children, youth, and those who are trying to recover from alcoholism. I know it’s a big industry and seems to be all over, but I think we must see how we influence others by partaking in it. I am glad my family and the families we have come from have never had to deal with the problems of alcohol personally because we have discovered that it’s OK not to drink. Later in Proverbs 23:29-25, it talks of how it deceives. If you get drunk, it will strike you and make you do foolish things. It will take you to places you should not go and will make you do things you should not do and when you wake up from the stupor, you will not even know you did them. So please consider your witness as a Christian to those around you and understand its association today is with more bad things than good. You don’t have to drink alcohol to be cool or refreshed.
