I was having a conversation with a sister and the subject of all things created for the consumption of man in moderation. But I cannot remember or find this in any verses currently. Would it be possible that it would be in the NKJ EASY READ?
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 - To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
1 Corinthians 6:12 - All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of [excesses of anything]
Ephesians 5:18 - And be not drunk with wine, wherein is EXCESS; but be filled with the Spirit;
1 Corinthians 6:19-20 - What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
1 Peter 5:8 - Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: [over consumption=poor health]
1 Timothy 4:2-5 - Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
Philippians 4:5 - Let your MODERATION be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.
Proverbs 20:1 - Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.
1 Timothy 5:23 - Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities. (This was a stomach remedy; not a reason to party.)
1 Timothy 3:8 - Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre;
Comment: anger creates cortisol in the blood, and it kills people.
Almost everyone knows these things. The only way I've found to fight back, is to not even bring stuff into the house. God created everything to give us life and health.
I drink water until my brain sends the signal I am "full". It turns off that screaming. Try it.
"22 - But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23 - Meekness, TEMPERANCE, against such there is no law."
