Staggering Southern Baptists? Are those the Baptists who drink when no other Baptists are around?
drinking Alcohol while being a Southern Baptist is not what it use to be, Baptist in the past wrote into the church covenants to abstain from the sale and consumption of alcohol thinking that alcohol has no redeeming value because some folks tend to overindulge and that is a problem from the biblical stand point, the bible speaks of alcohol being good for the stomach and Jesus making new wine at the wedding celebration. A lot of Churches in the SBC have removed the alcohol mention from their covenants, mine has not but many have.
