Rockets, Giants, and Booze: How to Not Get Drunk on Jerusalem

The cup of staggering, cup of stupor, is engineered to push us into the God of the Everlasting Covenant, the One who died to kill the carnality in us—because nothing of the flesh will survive eternity. In this era of rocket fury and the drunken stupor saturating social media, guard your heart.
