The proposal to introduce liquor sales in Lucedale is not an isolated local issue; it is a microcosm of a timeless struggle between wisdom and folly, between the clarity of Scripture and the haze of worldly compromise. To engage this idea rightly, we must transcend personalities and pierce the heart of the ideas at play. The Bible, not bitterness, must guide our discourse. Let us dismantle the arguments for liquor not with ad hominem strikes but with the unassailable truths of God's Word and the sobering reality of its consequences.
