This discussion provides guidelines whereby any recreational activity can be shown to be either an advisable or inadvisable activity for a Christian . The problem is not just to find something to do, but to find suitable recreation in which Christians may engage.
Many varied activities are suitable.
A list of about 100 different recreational activities, suitable for Christian young people was compiled on a Christian college campus recently. Included were games,, sports, social activities, music, arts, crafts, drama, nature study, linguistic studies, collecting and service activities. Recreation is necessary for a well-balanced life. Mental health authorities say that balanced living includes work, recreation, companionship, and religion. Time and energy should be apportioned to each of these.
