Straight T alk on Hard Liquor
by Rev. Andrew E. Johnson Pastor, Evangelical Free Church Minneapolis, Minnesota
T O s p e a k c r it ic a l ly ON LIQUOR has been taboo since the repeal of the 18th amendment. I per sonally have never preached, until recently, an en tire sermon on it in 24 years of pastoral ministry. Apparently my colleagues are not doing much better. Why? The liquor industry’s job of brainwashing
has almost completely succeeded. It seems, too, that many people somehow feel that such a subject is beneath the dignity of the attention o f the Gospel preacher, that we should be more positive in our declaration of the will of God than to attack its evils when there are, too, “more important mat ters.”
