THE WORD IS NOT UP FOR DEBATE
STAGE 1 — THE PREACHER SPEAKS
The preacher stood by the roadside with his Bible in his hand.
PREACHER:
“My brother, God loves you, but He is calling you out of this life. The Bible says, ‘Be not drunk with w**e, wherein is excess.’”
The drunkard looked at him, laughed loudly and lifted his bottle.
DRUNKARD:
“Pastor, leave me alone! I know what the Bible says. I drink, but I still believe in God. I even go to church!”
The preacher looked at him seriously.
PREACHER:
“Going to church does not make sin acceptable. God's Word is calling you to repentance.”
---
STAGE 2 — THE ARGUMENT
The drunkard became angry.
DRUNKARD:
“Who told you that I am a bad person? I don't steal. I don't kill anybody. Why are you disturbing me about drinking?”
PREACHER:
“I am not your judge, my brother. I am only bringing you God's warning.”
DRUNKARD:
“Everybody has their own weakness! God understands me!”
The preacher opened his Bible again.
PREACHER:
“God understands your weakness, but He also commands you to overcome sin. Don't use God's mercy as permission to continue in sin.”
The crowd became silent.

STAGE 3 — THE WORD BREAKS THE HEART
The preacher looked directly into his eyes.
PREACHER:
“My brother, what if tonight is your last night? What will your bottle do for you when you stand before God?”
The man's smile disappeared.
He slowly looked at the bottle in his hand.
PREACHER:
“You have been defending your drinking, but who will defend you when sin has destroyed your life?”
The man's eyes filled with tears.
He remembered the people he had hurt, the opportunities he had lost, and the promises he had broken.
Slowly, the bottle slipped from his hand.
DRUNKARD:
“Pastor... I thought I was only enjoying myself. I didn't know I was destroying myself.”
---
STAGE 4 — REPENTANCE
The man fell to his knees.
DRUNKARD:
“Lord Jesus, have mercy on me. I am tired of this life. Forgive me. I don't want to argue with Your Word anymore. I want to change.”
The preacher knelt beside him.
PREACHER:
“Today, don't just drop the bottle. Drop the rebellion in your heart. Surrender completely to Jesus.”
The man began to weep.
The crowd watched as the man who had been arguing against God's Word now knelt beneath its conviction.
NARRATOR:
“Sometimes, the greatest miracle is not when God changes your circumstances. It is when He changes your heart.”
📖 “Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out.” — Acts 3:19
THE WORD OF GOD IS NOT SOMETHING TO DEBATE.
IT IS SOMETHING TO OBEY.
