Timothy Wayne George's comment on 2013-08-14 06:27:01:

Give strong drink to him who is dying, and to those who have heavy hearts. It is not good for rulers to drink, less they forget the law, and pervert judgment of the poor. Strong drink should be given to those with terminal illness, and who are of a heavy heart. Let them drink to forget their misery, and ease their suffering. Paul told the young minister Timothy to drink a little wine for his stomachs sake. There are clear medicinal benefits to wine, and as long as it is done in moderation, this is a good thing. We pray for all those who are suffering from cancer, and other illnesses that God will send His Word, and heal their deceases. By His stripes we are healed.
