drunkenness has brought to little children, homes, wives and husbands,
mothers and fathers, sisters, brothers and nations! It is a terrible
thing! Today there is so much dope being taken. It is a terrible thing
to abuse one's body. God will not hold a person guiltless who abuses his
body in any manner. Read Prov. 23:29-32. God has deliverance for all who
get into this sin if they will only seek after God. But my dear
grandson, flee from all of it. "Touch not the cup." Never even taste it
and you will never be a drunkard. Some say they can take it or leave it,
but many did that for awhile and today they are on "skid row." They lost
their health, their wealth, their children, and their companions. Their
life is wretched. Some might say, "It would not happen to me," but they
must flee from it as they would a serpent that is ready to strike.

Smoking cigarettes and taking anything that harms the body is a sin. The
Bible says, "If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy:
for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are." I Cor. 3:17. What
could be plainer? My dear grandson, I am expecting you to flee from all
of these sins which are against the body which will destroy your body
and soul in eternal torment for all eternity. Remember that eternity
never ends. There is no time in eternity. Death seals your doom. It will
pay to live each day in a way that we will be ready to meet God, or will
be ready in that hour of death. It might come unexpectedly.

Seditions and heresies are sins. False teachings which are contrary to
the Bible teachings are heresies. They are sin. We want to live
according to the Bible and know its doctrines so we can not be led into
heresies. So many are being deceived by false teachers. People today
believe everything they hear and do not search the Bible to see if it is
true. We must not believe teaching from false teachers. Some will say,
"But that person has studied the Bible many years and he ought to know."
