The Strong Beer for Real Men? Beer is For Fools!

It really should be very disturbing to how liquor companies have been trying to appeal to the masculinity of men to drink their products. Just take a look at this commercial and see how sinful it is. This is just a sample of them and I had to choose the "tamest" one as an example. And why is liquor is prevalent? Simple the natural man is prone to getting drunk. Unsaved people tend to like to get drunk (1 Corinthians 6:9-11). So many people love getting drunk so much they would not repent of their sins and come to Jesus Christ for salvation. It's very necessary to protest against liquor by burning crates of them in church, read about verses against liquor and protest against all sorts of liquor.

Liquor is liquor... there is nothing decent about it nor manly either. Real men drink beer? Don't make me laugh because that's one of the real lies of the Devil. It's one of the many things that sissify a man all because these men drink beer trying to be real men only to do acts of cowardice that is making them useless. It will cause high absenteeism, random fits of rage more often times than not and that's just a few of the horrible things beer does. Every beer drinking sessions is nothing more than an act of cowardice because these men can't say no to what's harmful.

Beer is strong drink and the Bible calls strong drink in Proverbs 20:1 as, "Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging and whoever is deceived thereby is not wise." Only a real fool would think drinking liquor is a manly thing. Many people have been making stupid decisions all because they were drunk. It's not helping anyone with all the liquor especially even children are now drinking liquor hoping to "feel mature" and "be mature" when in fact, I'd dare say that drinking hard drink is one of the greatest signs of immaturity aside from killing people out of random rage and watching pornography.

In fact, I knew somebody who was always drinking when he was only 13 years old, he went home late and in fact, many of his activities were that dangerous. To think about it, drunkenness is also one of the many reasons why either the husband beats up the wife or the wife becomes a nagging wife which tears up the home because love and submission are both gone. Also, it can make children more defiant than they already are to their parents to the point they might inflict physical harm on them all because they got drunk. Or another, beer drinking can usually be seen among very wicked people like sexually promiscuous women, delinquents (like bums who don't work and spend money recklessly), fraternity members and evil businessmen. Why bother to gather at the table of sinners? Such sinners are so dangerous, they are most likely going to rip you off all in one setting. Plus liquor will drive a man poor as fast as any Ponzi scheme will.

In fact, I am happy that preachers like Paul Washer and John Macarthur are still opposed to liquor while many modern-day preachers are sadly supporting it. It would be a SHAME to mix beer into ministry. In fact if anybody claims to be a Christian and is always getting drunk, listen to these words by Charles Haddon Spurgeon on his experience with drunk people claiming to be Christians:

I my first pastorate, I had often to battle with Antinomonians- that is, people who held that, because they believed themselves to be elect, they might live as they liked. I hope that the heresy has to a great extent died out, but it was sadly prevalent in my early ministerial days. I knew one man, who stood on the table of a public house, and held a glass of gin in his hand, declaring that he was one of the chosen people of God. They kicked him out of the public-house and when I heard of it, I felt that it served him right. Even those ungodly men said that they did not want any such 'elect" people there. There is no one who can live in sin- drinking, swearing, lying and so on- who can truly declare that he is one of the Lord's chosen people... From my very soul I detest everything that in at least savours of the Antinomianism which leads people to prate about being secure in Christ while they are living in sin. We cannot be saved by or for our good works neither can we be saved without good works.Christ will never save any of His people in their sins; He saves His people from their sins. If a man is not desiring a holy life in the sight of God, with the help of the Holy Spirit, he is still "in the gall of bitterness and in the bond of iniquity"... the idea of "saving faith" apart from good works, is ridiculous. The saved man is not a perfect man but his heart's desire is to become perfect, he is always panting after perfection and the day will come when he will be perfected, after the image of his once crucified and now glorified Saviour in knowledge and true holiness.

While I was minister at Waterbeach, I used to have a man sitting in front of the gallery who would always nod his head when I was preaching what he considered sound doctrine, although he was about as bad as an old hypocrite as ever lived. When I talked to him about justification, down went his head; when I preached about imputed righteousness, down it went again. I was a dear good man in his estimation, without doubt. So I thought so I remarked, "There is a great deal of difference between God electing you and you electing yourself; a vast deal of difference between God justifying you by His Spirit and your justifying yourself by a false belief or presumption; this is the difference," said I - and the old man at once put me down as a rank Arminian - "you who have elected yourselves and justified yourselves, have no marks of the Spirit of God; you have no evidence of genuine piety, you are not holy men and women, you can live in sin, you can walk as sinners walk, you have the image of the Devil upon you and yet you call yourselves children of God. One of the first evidences that anyone is a child of God is that he hates sin with a perfect hatred and seeks to live a holy, Christlike life."The old Antinomian did not approve of that doctrine but I knew that I was preaching what was revealed in the Word of God.
