Hopefully Elton John will repent of homosexuality.

Being drug free is a great start.

I had to think before titling this thread. "Promoting Christianity" would have been something hard to swallow. So many, though, even in my own family, are taking too much of a relaxed stance with alcohol.

I'm not a fan of alcohol.i will not drink one pint ,cup of it .but I know that there is some who can .

It's not common but I know people that can handle it . I have gone to American icon brewery and with my pastor enjoyed a meal .my pastor had one of the brews .he didn't get drunk .

The brewery is a gastro pub .

My grandfather was rumored as a saint. What most people don't know is of the Friday night he came home drunk. I don't know what was said, but I do know after granny got through with him he never tried that the second time!

I find that it's great what Alice has done with his The Rock teen centers to bring teens closer to Christ. He's made some bold moves like standing up to a makeup label a few years ago because he wasn't going to promote LGBTQ being pushed on kids and the makeup company ended their contract with him. Paul Stanley has also caught a lot of hate for speaking out against LGBTQ being pushed on kids, too, although I'm not entirely certain what his faith is.

It's good when we see things go a positive direction. One thing leads to another and hopefully it will lead more and more people to Christ.

I dunno

I’m glad famous people are advocating sobriety. I think it can only help especially for families with children and teens. And yet…

Personally I try not to listen too much to celebrities when they offer life advice. They’re rich they’re famous and they inhabit an entirely different strata of society than me and most people really.
