Letter: Pray for revival Personal commentary by Chris Murphy In recent attempts to prevent Christians from standing against alcohol, people have resorted to name calling. They refer to anyone who is against the sale of alcohol as hypocrites and other names. Some of these people claim to be Christians themselves. I have a couple things to say to that. First Not everyone who says I am a Christian is a Christian. Second there are those who are Christians who haven't come to a place of understanding in this area who may say things they regret later. Either way the proper response should be a response of love and forgiveness.
