Sobriety reveals one’s sweetness; alcohol releases one’s suppressed emotions. It is interesting that alcohol keeps the alcoholic in denial of addiction – the guilt of drinking keeps the alcoholic away from church and the Lord’s day. Alcohol breaks apart marriages, it keeps families apart, it ruins relationships, it is a guilt trip, it causes paranoia and cirrhosis of the liver, it ages the flesh.
On the cross, Christ never called attention to Himself, instead, He called all to come to Him.

If you can think and live beyond the flesh, the universe and God await you.
Sudden fear short-circuits natural thought and reaction time. Stay calm. Stay in control.

It is the sacrifice of your gift to the Lord, not the size.
Whatever you do, do it in memory of the Lord, do it in honor of the Lord, do it unto the Lord, do it with thanksgiving – giving thanks.
The filling of the spirit is not emotion, it’s devotion. God has a plan. Emotion can cause us to abandon truth. God must be allowed to direct and help us do the right thing – do truth! Stop the emotional-roller coaster lifestyle.
God’s delay is for His display of His will for His glory, not yours, not mine. Jesus has and is power over life, death, and feelings and addictions and our emotions.
Physical death is the beginning of eternal life, which has no beginning. Therefore, it is the beginning of life everlasting.
