Bible Question: Hello Praise Jesus. I would like to aske this question.Is it bad to go the club and just only dance with your fellow friends without doing the other things like drinking, smoking, and sexual activities while you are there?.

Bible Answer: Ema, I have to ask you, "Why would a redeemed child of God want to go to a club where "drinking, smoking and sexual activities" were the order of the day, as your question indicates? Please see James 1:27. The first words in the book of Psalms are these: "Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night." (Psalm 1:1,2). There are any number of wholesome social and recreational opportunites available in most communities without having to resort to the "drinking, smoking and sexual activities" environment of a club such as you describe. Another consideration: What kind of witness for Christ can a Christian make if he or she is seen as a patron of a place such as you describe? --Hank
