The Wisdom Daily: Church in Non-Traditional Spaces…Even Bars

January 14, 2015

Have you heard of pub churches? Craft beer, God, and community. Welcome to one of many new venues and ways in which people are doing religion.

Go, eat your food with gladness, and drink your wine with a joyful heart, for God has already approved what you do.

Ecclesiastes 9:7
He was a wise man who invented beer

Plato
God made yeast, as well as dough, and loves fermentation just as dearly as He loves vegetation

Ralph Waldo Emerson
If God had intended us to drink beer, He would have given us stomachs.

David Daye
Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy

Benjamin Franklin
God has a brown voice, as soft and full as beer.

Anne Sexton
If you are tired and downhearted, take a drink; but this does not mean being a pig and doing nothing but gorging and swilling… You should be moderate and sober; this means that we
should not be drunken, though we may be exhilarated. [Sermon on Soberness and Moderation]

Martin Luther
Beer is made by man, wine by God.

Martin Luther
He makes…wine that gladdens human hearts.

Psalm 104:15
Don’t drink only water. You ought to drink a little wine for the sake of your stomach because you are sick so often.

1 Timothy 5:23
Others drink to forget. Christians drink to remember.
