Let me start out by saying, the Church has made living for Christ a complicated situation. Matt. 11:30 tells us that His yoke is easy and His burden is light. It really can be a joy serving Christ, remember Ecclesiastes says there is a time for everything. (That includes having fun.) God does not require or expect us to always be somewhere praying or reading our bible, there are somethings that man have created for our enjoyment that God has no problem with us partaking in. I know there are a few things that God requires for us to do that will enhance our walk with him, so don't think I am trying to down play that, but I think we are depriving ourselves of living life to the fullest. Proverbs 11:1, 20:23 tells us that a false balance is an abomination, or not good. What this simply means is that you can live save and have fun. LET US STOP TRYING TO BE HOLIER THAN THOU and live life more happier and stable, because if you are unstable you will be unhappy. James 1:8 speaks against a double minded person, you will be unstable in all your ways (decisions, life, relationships, ect...) I want to make the best of this life He has giving Me, how about You?

I love what you've said about balance Pastor Adrian! I think that too often the church lives in extremes. `I enjoyed this highly.
