Emphasis Preaching Journal

A lovely young woman named Gail lived in a beautiful suburban neighborhood. Her family had worked hard to move there from the city, believing it a better place to rear their daughter, away from exposure to drugs and other temptations. They bought a small house in a quiet neighborhood and joined the neighborhood church, where Gail regularly attended the youth group and worshipped with her parents each week. As Gail began to know the members of the youth group, however, she learned that they all drank, and not secretly, either.
