Why I Needed To Leave

Alcohol vote and Bible

Grandville voters' recent decision to allow alcohol sales on Sunday is disappointing, and it is sadly emblematic of West Michigan's gradual departure from biblical truth in general and Sabbath observance in particular ("Grandville approves Sunday alcohol sales," Press, Nov. 8). Sunday, the day that God has set aside for rest and worship, has become a day when hordes throng shopping centers and busy themselves with things that will mean nothing in eternity.

If we as a community looked to the Bible as our guide, we would heed the message of such passages as Exodus 20:11, Isaiah 56:2, and Matthew 24:20. While I am very thankful to live in an area where most people are religious, the Bible is very clear that religious devotion is offensive to God if it is not based on the truth. May our prayer be that our priorities would be more biblical and that we would return to our loving God who offers a beautiful promise in Isaiah 58:13-14.
