Christians Should not Encourage Wine Drinking – Dwight Lyman Moody
1 Timothy 5:23
Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for your stomach’s sake and your often infirmities.
Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for your stomach’s sake and your often infirmities.
Some say, “You must not force your principles on other people. I am a teetotaler myself; I would not touch alcohol, but then I will put it on my table for other people.” They say you must not take the liberty of people away. A man that preached the gospel told me that some time ago. He said that some men had to drink it as a medicine, and that was the reason he placed it on his table. I said to him, “Then why don’t you put a dish of pills on the table as well?” We have heard enough about it as a medicine, and it will be a grand day for England when you just sweep the stuff out of the island — the whole of it right out from your tables. Dare to be singular!
(D. L. Moody.)
