Theres Someone Hiding Behind

Saturday. Isa. 28: 1-7.

Strong drink is more than merely a drink. It’s a doorway; one of Satan’s; one of his favorite doorways for getting into a man’s life. No, this isn’t merely a strong way of putting the thing: this is really so. When the intoxicant, however mild, is taken in, the door is open for loose talk, loose morals, lost ideals, and all that brood. Letting the stuff severely alone is the only safe rule.
