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. Many things present themselves invitingly. You must make a decision about them according to your convictions, and Christians should base their convictions upon biblical teaching or principle. If you offend your conscience because you do something without faith, to you it is sin.
