The Use Of Wine
Contributed by Ron Freeman, Evangelist on Dec 22, 2018 (message contributor)
An aged brother told me jokingly one time regarding the difference between the elders and deacon’s use of wine, in 1 Timothy 3:3. He said Brother Freeman: “It’s simple.

I thanked him for his comment.
“A bishop then must be blameless... not given to wine....Likewise must the deacons be grave... not given unto much wine,” 1 Timothy 3:1-10; Titus 1:7.
See Sermon, "Let Every Man Be Fully Persuaded" - Romans 14:1-23
