Evangelist pastor Greg Laurie tackled the question of whether it’s acceptable for Christians to drink in a recent blog post by pointing out that John the Baptist is a good role model – he drank neither wine nor strong drink.
“John gives us a good model for life: he drank neither wine nor strong drink. Personally, I don’t drink at all,” Laurie states. “That is due, to some degree, to coming from an alcoholic home and seeing the devastation that drinking can bring.”
