if God wanted us to avoid the good things in life His name would be Allah and we would be called Muslims.

I agree with Jerryboy, but if a new Christian (a Babe in Christ) would see me going into a bar or coming out of a bar what would that do for his walk with Christ? I’m not a pastor but I’m an elder at my church and I may be the only bible someone might see. I don’t have a problem with someone having a drink or a smoke and I know the Lord don’t want to see me dance! But like my pastor says; being a Christian you have every eye on you and if you mess up someone will bring it to your attention. By the way I just had some good fellowship with a brother in Christ and another Elder in our church. Last Saturday we spent the day at the Perry County gun bash at New Lexington Ohio. It was a great time and my 18 year old son enjoyed also.
