Bible Quotes
Woe to those who rise early in the morning, that they may run after strong drink, who tarry late into the evening as wine inflames them!
(Isaiah 5:11) ESV

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
(Matthew 6:13) ESV

If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him. For God's temple is holy, and you are that temple.
(1 Corinthians 3:17) ESV

“All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are helpful. “All things are lawful for me,” but I will not be enslaved by anything.
(1 Corinthians 6:12) ESV

Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.
(1 Corinthians 6:19,20) ESV

No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.
(1 Corinthians 10:13) ESV

Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
(Galatians 5:19-21) ESV

I can do all things through him who strengthens me.
(Philippians 4:13) ESV

Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.
(1 Peter 5:8) ESV1

Inspirational Quotes from Famous People

I tried to give up drugs by drinking.
--Lou Reed – American Musician Born 1942

But I will say that the drugs are much more ferocious then they used to be. There are people wrecking their lives with addiction, which seems much more severe.
--Armistead Maupin – American Novelist Born 1944

But actually, my drug addiction thing, I was so stubborn.
--Elton John – English Musician Born 1947

In the '70s, everybody thought drugs were just good times. People didn't really know about drug addiction, or that such a thing existed. When I grew up in the '70s I thought you had to take drugs. It was almost like I didn't think you had a choice.
--Aimee Mann – American Musician Born 1960

Drugs are a waste of time. They destroy your memory and your self-respect and everything that goes along with with your self-esteem. They're no good at all.
--Kurt Cobain – American Musician Born 1967 Died 1994

I bought a gun and chose drugs instead.
--Kurt Cobain – American Musician Born 1967 Died 1994

--Keith Richards – English Musician Born 1943

Let me be clear about this. I don't have a drug problem. I have a police problem.
--Keith Richards – English Musician Born 1943

Drugs are not the way to the light. They won't lead to a fairy-tale life, they lead to suffering.
--Layne Staley – American Musician Born 1967 Died 2002

Drugs will get you out of your own way, but we lived it, and that's dangerous. It can actually turn around on itself and steal your soul, and that's what happened.
--Steven Tyler – American Musician Born 1948

Our national drug is alcohol. We tend to regard the use any other drug with special horror.
--William S. Burroughs – American Writer Born 1914 Died 1997

If they took all the drugs, nicotine, alcohol and caffeine off the market for six days, they'd have to bring out the tanks to control you.

Drugs and the Bible

What does the Bible say about the use of drugs by medical professionals?

The Bible actually makes no definite moral statement about this subject. Isaiah told Hezekiah to place a lump of figs on his boil. See Isaiah 38:21. It is unclear, though whether this was an actual medical cure, or whether it was only a symbolic act of obedience that was prerequisite to a divine miracle in Hezekiah's life.

The disciple Luke was a physician. No doubt, though, he prayed the prayer of faith and saw the sick miraculously healed as did the seventy sent out by Jesus in Luke 10:1.

The woman with the issue of blood "had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse" (Mark 5:26).

The consensus is this... the medical profession is not prohibited (even implicitly) in the Bible, but it is clearly shown to be inferior to the healing power of the Creator as it operated through Jesus Christ and His followers (even to this day)!

What does the Bible say about the use of illegal drugs (esp. to "get high")?

#1) The Bible teaches us not to destroy our body, since it is the temple of the Holy Ghost!

#2) Alcohol, a milder drug than many, is explicitly prohibited in a proliferation of Bible verses -- Proverbs 20:1; 21:17; 23:31; 31:4; Isaiah 5:11; 28:1,7; 56:12; Hosea 4:11; Habakkuk 2:5; Ephesians 5:18.

#3) Finally, (believe it or not) drugs ARE MENTIONED in the Bible! Notice the forms of the word "sorcery" in the following verses:

Revelation 9:21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.

Revelation 18:23 And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.

Revelation 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

Revelation 22:15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

The word "sorceries" in the above texts are derived from the Greek word "pharmakeia." This Greek term is a root of our words "pharmacy," "pharmaceutical," etc. They refer variously to a) the use of drugs, b) poisoning, c) magical arts [esp. as drugs were used to produce the "aura" surrounding such witchcraft], and d) magical remedies.2
