WINE LIES. is part testimony, part Holy Spirit filled encouragement and part practical tools created to challenge and equip the reader to reach for greater freedom from alcohol over-use. We examine the place of alcohol in our lives, in our society and in the church body. Do you want more freedom? Have you felt a recent nudge from the Holy Spirit? Do you feel God has more for your life? Do you want a closer relationship with God? I wanted more of God in my life. I wanted breakthroughs. I wanted transformation and victory. But something was hindering me, holding me up, like I was stuck in heavy spiritual traffic. When I finally gave up alcohol, the dam broke and then came the flood of transformation. This habit held up holiness and kept me distracted, even feeling disqualified for Kingdom work. If you too have found yourself asking these same kinds of questions, I invite you to step onto the path and examine our testimonies, stories and Spirit led exhortation and encouragement. Who knows? Maybe you will find a path that leads to even greater freedom in Christ. In every life there comes a time to reflect on the past, a time to take an honest inventory of the present and a time to seek purpose for the future. Purpose cannot be found in complacency. Purpose is found only in God's will and exists well beyond the status quo. Purpose requires change. Purpose requires hard decisions. But inside purpose joy flourishes abundantly.
