Christian Fun

[GTchick12]

How do you do it? I struggle with trying to think of fun things to do with others that won't lead anyone to sin. I don't know why it seems so hard....

Climb trees. Climbing trees is always good fun...

When I was Youth Pastor at church before moving into another ministry, I'd have all the teens come to my helper's house and we'd watch Christian videos, play volleyball, pool, ping pong, etc. Playing board games like Pictionary, etc is good fun. I guess maybe it depends on what one likes to do.

i usually watch films or just hang around talking, or we all hang out in the church youth club. we're lucky enough to have a huge famous church near where we live to we hang out there sometimes.

Read the Bible, Play Biblical Games , Devotions, Painting, Needle point, swimming, fishing, watching movies that will get you closer to the Lord.

Ugh, I'm sorry, but none of that is fun. >.< Seems Christianity puts a strangle hold on the fun factor.

Try paintballing, video games, or just hanging out with your friends.

Hi,

I believe you'd be pleasently surprised at how much fun you can have with a good group of Christian teens. Just the atmosphere alone takes a LOT of the pressure of being a teen off. It really is a good time.

God bless,

While I think the OP is being a bit silly or short sighted, your concept of Christianity is flawed. There are tons of things to do that don't lead to sin. Activities in and of themselves are not the main issue, really. It's more to do with attitudes.

I can play checkers and get angry at my opponent

I don't necessarly think so. I do all of those... man, I just realized something. Thats all I do..

If you want to know the Lord better make a Game out of it with Flash cards and all. Some of the Secluar fun isn't right for the Lord.

Exactly what is it you believe you are unable to do?

There is so much life to live, especially at 21. Going out and getting punch drunk is only one thing among many things, or whatever other...questionable activities are available to 21 year olds.
We're on this earth to live, and there's a whole lot of living to do.

You can have fun without drinking and Partying at a dance club. Look things up online for fun as a Christian. Some Churches provides free concerts to see Singers or Free Movies at the Church.

Like so many of the others have already said, there are a lot of things you can do to have fun that won't lead to sin. Find a good Christian group of peers that have things in common with you; you can play good wholesome games, listen to Christian music; you can play miniature golf; you can go bowling or skating. Also, when you're in your group, you can give one another suggestions of different things to do.

The question presented here is really a very important one... I know a lot of teens who like to call themselves as Christians but a lot they do on their freetime seems to be really very much against it. And it can be really challenging to find suitable company to spend time with, good hobbies and entertainment - especially if you are a bit shy.

What I can suggest is to try to learn to play a musical instrument, try composing if you can, maybe learn some new recipes for cooking, photography, go out into the nature, learn a new language, try painting, read the Bible and biblical books, listen to great music, help others - we all are different and have different subjects of interest. We just need to widen ourselves up to see all the great things!

Tarkovskij once said that loneliness is human's basic state of being... I don't know how right he really was, but it is true that we need to get ourself feel comfortable and relaxed even in solitude. Solitude CAN be enjoyable as well!

My best wishes to you!
