John MacArthur exposes a growing unbiblical trend in this short piece; I do enjoy reading and listening to the teachings of this Godly man who stands firm on God’s word regardless of all the false accusations and verbal abuse he suffers…to God be the glory.
Beer, Bohemianism, and True Christian Liberty
Tuesday, August 09, 2011
If everything you know about Christian living came from blogs and websites in the young-and-restless district of the Reformed community, you might have the impression that beer is the principal symbol of Christian liberty.
For some who self-identify as “Young, Restless, and Reformed,” it seems beer is a more popular topic for study and discussion than the doctrine of predestination. They devote whole websites to the celebration of brewed beverages. They earnestly assure one another “that most good theological discussion has historically been done in pubs and drinking places.” They therefore love to meet for “open dialog on faith and culture” wherever beer is served—or better yet, right at the brewery. The connoisseurs among them serve their own brands and even offer lessons in how to make home brew.

Johnny Mac, again, giving us an authoritative and Bible rooted argument against the sins of the world taking residence in the Church. I agree whole heartily with his assessment on this issue.
Awesome. Thanks for posting this.
@ abiding..
Which sins?
Waynedawg,
First thing to be mentioned is that the church in general is full of sin and hypocrisy…sins of the world in so many categories. I have personal experience with the folks that MacArthur is talking about and what I have seen is sins in the area of drinking alcohol in excess, profane language, arrogance in it all, and immodesty…and these are the Elders and leadership. In general they are not above reproach as described in (1 Tim 3:2) by choice. They endorse this behavior and frankly are a not good witnesses.

Agreed. Amen.
I understand your first comment now in light of this one.
Thank you -
