Test everything
We live in a society where almost everything is permissible and we can get involved in things that are quite unsavoury and not fear prosecution from the authorities at all. Some things can seem quite harmless but we must be wary as the devil is a master of subtle deception. One example is that the people of God should have no business in celebrating Halloween. Some would say this is harmless fun and that our children enjoy it. But those who allow their children to take part are putting them in danger from dark spiritual forces. It is the same with those arts that stem from eastern mysticism like yoga (and many others the list is endless). It seems harmless doesn't it even beneficial for our health but we must ask ourselves in all the things that we do 'is it bringing glory to God?’ If it isn't then we must cast it out of our lives. Knowledge like wisdom is a God given gift and we must carefully research things before we take part in them. So it is imperative that we test the things that we do with our lives and pray continually about them so that we remain inline with the will of God and bring glory to Him alone.
1 Thessalonians 5:21-22
Test everything. Hold on to the good. Avoid every kind of evil.
1 Corinthians 10:31
So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. |
