Jesus said: "Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid” (John 14:27). The “world” offers “peace” by increasing government power; or giving up to one’s enemies; or signing toothless treaties; or retreating into drugs and alcohol; or speeding through life while preoccupied by electronics, jobs, athletics, or shopping! Jesus’ “Peace” comes only to those who obey His Will. "These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world." (John 16:33). Paul wrote to Christians: “The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you” (Philippians 4:9). - February 21, 2022

In light of the recent shooting in Indiana, I highlight my QA: What can be done about the shooting massacres that occurred in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio? - 8/11/ 2019
ANSWER: Preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ to every creature. Meanwhile:
1. Speedily execute those who have done the murdering. (Genesis 9:6; Ecclesiastes 8:11; Romans 13:4). Government that doesn't exercise speedy capital punishment for murders is rebelling against God as much as those who commit the murders. If not, why not?
2. Remove all legal rulings and programs that discourage heterosexual marriages. (Genesis 2:24; Mark 10:11-12). ... Read More of this and other QA in Questions Answered.

“But they also have erred through wine, And through intoxicating drink are out of the way; The priest and the prophet have erred through intoxicating drink, They are swallowed up by wine, They are out of the way through intoxicating drink; They err in vision, they stumble in judgment. For all tables are full of vomit and filth; so that no place is clean” (Isaiah 28:7-8). Is that a good New Year’s Party, or the same sickening vomit of old year’s drunkenness? Have you noticed the beer commercials don’t show anyone throwing up their beer? The liquor ads don’t show the blurred, distorted vision of the drivers who kill, maim, and destroy innocent people! The bad effects of “intoxicating drink” supposedly “rings out the old, and rings in the new year.” It’s sickeningly the same, isn’t it? What’s “new?” - December 30, 2019

QUESTION: Does alcohol have any good use? - October, 2020
ANSWER: There are three uses of alcohol, each as a medicine, that is, to be used with a very low dose, only for pain relief, out of necessity, briefly at best. They are: 1) To relieve recurring weakening digestive problems (1 Timothy 5:23; 1 Timothy 3:3; Titus 1:7) ... Read More of this and other QA on my Questions Answered page.

“Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy” (Romans 13:13). These are terms that describe company parties, conventions, frat parties, bars and taverns, Christmas and New Year Eves, or proms. This verse teaches us to behave as if others can see us in the daytime; therefore NOT with rioting and dulled judgments in alcohol and drugs; NOT sexual excesses and perversions; NOT with quarrelling and jealousy! “But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts” (Romans 13:14). “For we have spent enough of our past lifetime in doing the will of the Gentiles--when we walked in lewdness, lusts, drunkenness, revelries, drinking parties, and abominable idolatries” (1 Peter 4:3). - December 16, 2019
