I don't know about you but I really am against drinking beer or any fermented/alcoholic drinks.

I've heard a lot of reasons from Christian teens like, drinking is not a sin, etc. I really don't know, but the question is, would it glorify God? Everything is permissible but not everything's beneficial. Especially in this case. There are persons out there looking up at you, especially for youth leaders who actually engage in one shot drinking sessions. The question I would like to shot at you is simple yet very provoking in its own way.


Yes, drinking can cure several pains like, menstrual pain and stuffs, but aside from that, are you really drinking for the sake of curing the pain? Or for the sake of gratifying the lust of your hunger for alcohol? Or for the sake of fulfilling the lust of your own curiosity? Before telling me that it is not a sin, then answer this. Would it cause anyone to stumble? Would it lift up God's name? Is it holy? Would God be happy if he sees you drinking? Would you be proud of doing it before God? I mean, hey that's beer. It's just like simply praying the line, "God be with me" with an addition of, "Hey God, watch me drink beer." or "Lord, let's drink beer together." or "Lord, join me." Let us not forget that God is always with us.

Who says drinking is a sin? -this a question I would always hear.

Well, if you ask today's generation, most probably the answer would be 'nobody'. To anyone's eye, a little shot is not a sin, drinking a little could not be a sin, but since it doesn't bring any glory to God, why even drink even just a little? If there should be a difference maker, that would be us Christians (I am guilty of this) but I write for God's glory. What difference does it make when a believer does the things that the non-believers does? Nothing. It defeats the purpose of the light that God has given to us.

Here is my personal answer to the same question found above.

Sure, to you drinking may not be a sin, but prove to me that no one would stumble if ever you do it.

I would just love to quote this line and I encourage you to reflect on it.
