Problems With Alcohol (Proverbs 20)

About the Guest
-
According to Proverbs 20, overindulging in wine and strong drink turns us into fools, creates conflict, and leads us astray. But the drinker is not the only one led astray. Think about the kids in the home. We all know drugs and alcohol can affect any family, but kids from divorced or separated homes and stepfamilies are five times as likely to live with someone with a substance abuse problem. I'm not casting stones; I just want to encourage you: if this is your family, please get help.

Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.
Ron: According to Proverbs 20:1, overindulging in wine and strong drink turns us into fools, creates conflict, and leads us astray. But the drinker is not the only one led astray. Think about the kids in the home. They are led astray as well.
Now we all know drugs and alcohol can affect any family, but kids from divorced or separated homes and stepfamilies are five times as likely to live with someone with a substance abuse problem. I’m not casting stones; I just want to encourage you: if this is your family, please get help. Don’t lead the little ones astray. Just get help. For FamilyLife Blended I’m Ron Deal.
