Fooled By Spirits or Filled With The Spirit?

Why do so many people make alcohol such a centerpiece in the celebration of their holidays? It must be a futile attempt to somehow numb and fill the emptiness of their lives? The end result of such a choice can turn seasons of rejoicing into seasons of ruin.

Lord, Let our holidays and all of our days find us not fooled by the hollow spirits, but filled with the Holy Spirit. In the Name of the Real Joy-Giver, Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen.

Don’t be drunk with wine, because that will ruin your life. Instead, let the Holy Spirit fill and control you. Then you will sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, making music to the Lord in your hearts. And you will always give thanks for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
-- Ephesians 5:18-20 (NLT)

ALL JOY! REAL JOY!
