“Just Say No”
Categories: GOD, RELATIONSHIPS, SELFWhere does it say that drugs are bad? God made all the plants, right?
Sincerely,
Weed-eater
Dear Weed-eater,
Plants (and drugs made from plants) are wonderful things if used as God intended – medicinally. Anything that removes the clarity of someone’s mind or makes them drunk is sinful if used recreationally (1 Cor 5:11). Christians are to be sober-minded, so that we can properly learn, grow, and serve the Lord (1 Thess 5:6). The devil loves an addled brain, and the moment we stop thinking clearly, he is ready to pounce (1 Pet 5:8). Furthermore, the body is a temple and should be treated as God intended – not destroyed with drugs (1 Cor 6:19). Drugs destroy your body and mind. You were bought with a price; glorify God in your body (1 Cor 6:20).
