During yesterday’s message, we learned that Shoreline Church’s stand on alcohol is that we are “moderationists,” meaning that we believe drinking is not a sin and that a Christian conscience must guide each person. Pastor Eric sited four Biblical references… Ephesians 5:18, 1 Corinthians 8:9, Romans 14:3-4, and 1 Corinthians 6:12. He also provided six filter questions.
1. What does this add to my life?
2. What does it take away from my life?
3. What value am I or my family receiving from this?
4. What does this add to those around me?
5. What is the long-term advantage or disadvantage of this activity?
6. Will the activity help me achieve my goals?
