When I'm a grandpa, I won't care what they say. On some rainy Saturday mornings I'm going to go out to the back porch, spend some time in prayer and study the Word...with a nice warm pipe and a glass of brandy. I'm going to smile and thank God for blessing me with a life so wondrous and a freedom so scandalous...it blinds those who say they can see. 
God bless. And goodnight. |
Why wait!? You can have your brandy right now! Your brandy, your Bible, on your back porch with your shot gun, spittin some tobaccy-- now this is what Christian freedom is all about!
Free to be different, free to be changed-- but I CHOOSE not to be different or changed. That does not sit well with me.
As much as I'd really enjoy the idea that drinking Guinness isn't a negative reflection on my walk with God, somehow I think it is. But maybe this is just MY conviction and maybe, maybe the Bible does justify the moderate consumption of alcohol. I'd rather just not drink.
Please don't be offended. If you're ever in the DC/Baltimore area, maybe we can hang out-- you with your brandy, me with my sweet tea. But we could hang out.
