Drunkenness is condemned in the Scriptures with the strongest of warnings. First Corinthians 6:10 tells us that “drunkards…will [not] inherit the kingdom of God.” In Galatians 5:21 it is listed with the other “deeds of the flesh” (Gal. 5:19). Jesus spoke against drunkenness in Luke 21:34. All the examples of drunkenness in the Bible (Noah, Nabal, Belshazzar, etc.) resulted in bad consequences. Drunkenness makes it impossible to worship God. Ephesians 5:18, “And do not get drunk with wine, for that is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit.” We are to not fellowship with drunkards when they are professing Christians (1 Cor. 5:11; cf. Pro. 23:20). Drunkenness also often leads to other moral relapses. No wonder Proverbs 20:1 instructs us, “Wine is a mocker, strong drink a brawler, and whoever is intoxicated by it is not wise.”

This is a 100% true story !! Names have been changed as not to cause
embarrasment...

Our local Fire Department in LaGrange sent one of their Firemen out to
conduct a class on how to use the fire extinguisher to a group of local
Senior Citizens.

He started off by asking this very simple question : Can anyone here show me
how they would use this (holding the fire extinuisher) to put out a fire.
One little ole petite lady held up her hand and said" Fireman Smith, I know
how to use it" and got up to proceed to show the group. She took the
exinguisher from his hand and threw it into the fire !!!!

He retrieved it and said to her " No, Mrs. Johnson, we don't do it that way
now - there is a better way now."

He knew he really had his work cut out for him !

This is actually a true story told [by] the Fireman who conducted
the class !!
