Re: Wine For Medicinal Purposes ?
Scripturally, a drink of wine is not sinful, BUT I think there are plenty of good practical reasons to abstain from drinking completely, AND there are LOTS of scriptures that indicate a lack of wisdom in drinking. Add to that a culture of excess, and a history of alcoholism in my family, and that's enough to advise my children against drinking whatsoever.
