I know an Apostolic brother who's in serious need of some extra income to keep his family afloat so he's considering a second job. However, most options he's considered don't present enough income to be worth the hassle of a second job. This weekend he discovered an opportunity to make nearly $500 in two to three nights a week part time. Here's the catch, it's a part time position bartending. He's seriously considering it and he has bartenders in his family but as an Apostolic he's not sure church family and the body of Christ at large would understand.
What are his convictions about alcohol? Sin or not a sin?? And does he delineate between a "social" drink, drinking for merriment purposes, and drunkenness?
I took a part-time job once waitressing for banquets. I didn't have a problem with serving a drink with dinner... but I did have a problem with some of the wedding receptions and parties where people got out of hand with their booze.
I have seen much too much alcoholism destroy families to be comfortable playing a role by serving the stuff. It made me feel LOUSY spiritually . . . JMO.

I owned a store once and my pastor allowed me to sell beer and tobacco products. If you are bartending is it a sin? I really dont know!

What are some of your thoughts on this?
I say (as if what I say matters) it's between him and God, and it's nobody else's business. Who cares what anyone else thinks!
