May a Christian go to a disco?

1. Before a young Christian goes to a disco he or she must examine his Christian strength.

He must know that there are very strong temptations present. Will he be capable of withstanding them, relying on his will power, his wisdom or faith in himself? Can he overcome the temptations in his own power? He must remember the Biblical warning: We a re not fighting against human beings but against the wicked spiritual forces in the heavenly world (Ephesians 6:12).

The devil is eager to try and let young Christians fall. He is stronger than us, we cannot overcome him in our own power. We cannot say: "We know how to behave ourselves," or "There is nothing wrong with disco's". Young people go to disco's.They see not hing wrong in it. After their watchfulness relaxes it may happen that Satan suddenly attacks them. They fall into sin and beautiful young people with a bright future wander further and further away from Jesus (Read 1 Corinthians 10:12).

2. A young Christian who goes to a disco must ask himself this question: "Can I ask God's blessing on what I intend doing tonight?" If the answer is "Yes" let him go and enjoy himself remembering what the Bible says in Colossians 3:17.

3. If Jesus should come again while I am at the disco will I meet Him with joy? Or shall I be embarrased if he finds me in that place?

If you really intend that the will of God be fulfilled in your life I think you will be able to submit the right answer to the above question.
