CO 10:31{This is not fully obeyed when we drink, merely because we like it, what is the very greatest obstacle to that glory in this world of ours. What matter that we prefer taking it in a more refined form, if the thing itself is daily and actively and mightily working misery, and crime, and death, and destruction to thousands, till the cry thereof seems as if it must pierce the very heavens! And so it does sooner, a great deal, than it pierces the walls of our comfortable dining room! I only say here, you who have said, "Take my lips," stop and repeat that prayer next time you put that to your lips which is binding men and women hand and foot, and delivering them over, helpless to Satan! Let those words pass once more from your heart out through your lips, and I do not think you will feel comfortable in letting the means of such infernal work pass in through them.
Church of God, beloved and chosen,
Church of Christ for whom He died,
Claim thy gifts and praise thy Giver!—
"Ye are washed and sanctified.”
Sanctified by God the Father, and by Jesus Christ His Son.
And by God the Holy Spirit, Holy, Holy Three in One.
