Proverbs 23:29-32
So far in the ''You Asked For It'' series, we've unpacked some issues that the Church agrees on for the most part.

The Bible leaves us with some grey area when it comes to drinking alcohol and when that happens in Scripture, the Church historically has had a tendency to elevate these gray areas and make them seem black and white.
Most of the time, the Church has done so as a response to the culture of the day:
