Summary: "In this moralistic sermon (a common genre in the evangelical movement), aimed at promoting Christian conduct on the Whitaker, Whitefield laments that even some who people profess to be Christian have fallen into the sin of drunkenness.

Whitefield exhorts his hearers to turn away from the sin of drunkenness to a life of prayer and self-denial in which they labor “to be filled with the Spirit of God” (Eph. 5:6)."
