Christian behaviours...

Ok, so, you are the only christian on the bus you are sitting on. But, you are with friends, non-christian friends. They offer you beer, ciggarettes and a magazine you know your pastor would burn. (Stereotypical i know... but all for an examples sake) Do you take them? Do you fit in with the crowd, or do you say, well "no".

All christians have things they personally think is right and wrong. For example:

  • Drinking beer, wine and other alcohol.
  • Dancing
  • Going to nightclubs, discos etc.
  • Various ideas on what dating is and when to date.
  • Smoking
Ok, in my opinion, all of the above can be perfectly fine, but how do they apear to non-christians. Sometimes the most effective wittness is not doing an speaking, but letting your actions show Christ. Paul mentioned that if doing something made someone else sin don't do it. So, if a friend has a drinking problem, and you invite them out for a drink, you are commiting a sin, because you are tempting them.

So, whats the general concencus?
