Hello, this was a section from my Sunday school class this past Sunday. Hopefully you are able to learn a lesson or two from this. Thanks for reading in advance and God bless and enjoy.

Christians cannot live in isolation in this present world. However, we must know when and how to draw the line between worldly (sinful) and acceptable (Holy) socialisation. For instance, Christians are expected to recreate (1 Timothy 4:8– For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.), but visiting pubs and nightclubs for recreation and indulging in sinful acts is unacceptable. Christians should avoid participating or feasting at occassions where idols are celebrated (1 Corinthians 10:28– But if any man say unto you, This is offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake: for the earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof:). Mordernised carnivals with satanic undertones and other places where Christians integrity is questionable should also be avoided (1 Corinthians 8:10-11– For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol’s temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols; And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died) (1 Corinthians 10:19-21– What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing? But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils. Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table, and of the table of devils.). Watching immoral movies, listening to/ singing ungodly music, and wearing seductive dresses in the name of socialisation are also ungodly thing Christians must avoid (1 Corinthians 8:8-11– But meat commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse. 9But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak. For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol’s temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols; And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died?). While getting involved in secular activities, Christians should watch out and abstain from things that can make compromise their faith (Philippians 4:8– Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.).

Conclusion: Whatsoever we do to socialise should be to the glory of God and the edification of the saints (1 Corinthians 10:31– Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.). Christians are to show moderation in social interactions.
