“It is only when a Christian recognizes that drinking is not only a harmful habit, but also a transgression of a God-given principle to ensure our health and holiness, that he or she will feel compelled to abstain from intoxicating substances.”
― Samuele Bacchiocchi, Wine in the Bible (Abridged): A Biblical Study on the Use of Alcoholic Beverages

“It is absurd and dangerous to imagine that God would have approved and encouraged the moderate use of a substance which intoxicates our organism, irrespective of the amount consumed.”

“All of this means that our Christian position on drinking must be rooted not merely in the negative effects of drinking on the physio-social aspects of life, but primarily in the positive principles and admonitions regarding drinking given to us by God in His Word. The definition of our Christian position on drinking must begin by listening first to what God has to say about it in His Word, and then to what scientific research tells us regarding the effects of alcohol.”

“We respond in one of two ways when we are confused by our feelings and emotions. We either become overwhelmed, allowing our feelings to spill over onto those around us and draw them into a confusing drama; or we become overcontrolling, holding a tight rein on any expression of our feelings or emotions while also attempting to carefully control everything that goes on around us.”
― David Stoop, You Are What You Think

“Anger and fear, emotions that are opposite in direction, have been called the emotions that trigger the fight/flight syndrome. Anger prepares me to fight—to move against and push away. Fear prepares me to take flight—to move away from the threat. Both anger and fear are reactions to a threat. Interestingly, what takes place physiologically (in my body) when I am angry is identical to what happens when I am fearful. The difference is in my perception of the threat—how I see that which is threatening me.”
