Hi, nakia1980, the answer that prayon gave to your other question concerning music also goes for this one. While reading your questions, some verses come to mind: "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." Romans 12:2 and "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." 2 Corinthians 5:17 It seems that the Church (Body of Christ) is struggling to draw and satisfy souls who are not really born again. God calls for a holy nation - one that's separated (sanctified) in views, thoughts, and actions. The Church shouldn't have to stoop to worldly activities to draw and keep souls, the Light of Jesus is enough. He says, "And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me." John 12:32 (on the cross as well in the hearts of believers). As Christians, we are to glorify God in all that we do. We are to acknowledge Him in all our ways. Also, He wants praise from the sun up until the sun down. I said all that to say, if God can get the glory from you playing cards, play on. If God can get the well deserved praise as you listen to your music, listen on. If these are things you used to do before you were born again, avoid them. The enemy is trying to draw you back. When you are born again, instead of feeling that you can't do things, you find that there are things that you don't want to do. The Holy Ghost will lead you to fun things to do while maintaining your sanctification if you're willing. Thank you for your questions, they really made me do a self exam. WalkingTalkingBible |
