Beginning of the End - Ellen G. White

The same obligation rests on every follower of Christ. "You are
a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own
special people" (1 Peter 2:9). When alcoholic drinks are used, the
same effects will follow as in the case of those priests of Israel. The
conscience will lose its sensitivity to sin and a hardening will take
place, till the difference between the common and the sacred will
not seem important. "Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or
whatever you do, do all to the glory of God" (1 Corinthians 10:31).
The solemn and fearful warning is addressed to the church of Christ
in all ages: "If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy
him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are" (1
Corinthians 3:17).
