c.f. leach
A walking miracle---her spiritual journey began at seven years old, when she was baptized by the late, Pastor K.L. Moore, Jr., of the First Baptist Church in Frankfort, Kentucky, her birthplace. Very thankful for her spiritual upbringing which gave her a strong foundation and a respect for the word of God. Which now affords her the opportunity to share His word with others and testify about His saving her from leukemia.
She is the mother of six, a cancer survivor, pastor, and previous newspaper editor. Has published articles in The Voice In The Wilderness Magazine and a poem published in Great Poems of the Western World. She along with her husband, Elder Bobby Leach, live in Land O Lakes, Florida.
Thank-you.
I take this verse literally, and choose not to drink alcohol.
Although it is not expressly forbidden in the Bible, alcohol use clouds judgment, and these days we all need to be as vigilant as we can. 😊

Sally there is a scripture that does say”Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach’s sake and thine often infirmities” (1 Tim 5:23). But this is specifically for an illness. I do agree with you that the gross over use of alcohol is most detrimental to our better judgement. For it is also written, “Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit.”(Ephesians 5:18)
