Is It Okay to Drink Alcohol?
Is Drinking Alcohol a Sin?
Most recently, John Piper addressed this in another Ask Pastor John podcast, “Is Drinking Alcohol a Sin?” He takes the same basic approach, but he seems to have softened in his desire to persuade others to abstain.
Was drinking deadly in Jesus' culture?
