NOTE: I currently do not use any alcoholic
drinks, wine and/or alcoholic beverages for personal consumption. I do use
Bourbon and/or Whiskey, Fortified Wine and Rum in some of my recipes and
condiments; e.g.,
BBQ sauce,
Baked
Beans.
Chicken Marsala,
Vanilla Extract, etc..
I have several recipes that I use Port Wine and Dry Sherry for flavor
enhancement. I will mix up a concoction consisting of Whiskey/Bourbon, honey
and lemon juice for medical purposes for my bride and myself when a severe cold
and/or sore throat is taking place; a time or two a year as needed
(PRN).
Alcoholism
is a
sin and has been toned down by our liberal
society and label it now as a disease.....a
sin, nonetheless!
ADDICTION AND ENSLAVEMENT
One of the primary benefits of our liberty in Christ is freedom from the
domination of negative forces (John 8:32, 36; Romans 6:14; 8:2). We are
counseled not to put ourselves again under bondage (Galatians 5:1). Therefore, a
Christian must totally abstain from all alcoholic beverages and other
habit-forming and mood-altering chemical substances and refrain from the use of
tobacco in any form, marijuana and all other addictive substances, and further,
must refrain from any activity (such as gambling or gluttony) which defiles the
body as the temple of God or which dominates and enslaves the spirit that has
been made free in Christ (Proverbs 20:1; 23:20-35; Isaiah 28:7; 1 Corinthians
3:17; 5:11; 6:10; 2 Corinthians 7:1; James 1:21).
Yes, the alcohol does cook/evaporate out in the
recipes that I use, since most are simmered for at least 30 minutes and/or baked
much longer!
