Make god the reason for everything you do. Dont do something just cause its fun, do something because when you have pure fun your glorifying God.
Granted I dont do this all of the time, dont even do it most of the time. Part of being human I guess.
A lot of people seem to think that Christians are against fun. Dont really know why. God didnt give us a sense of humor just so we could spend our whole lives being serious. I try and have fun in everything. Again that doesnt always happen, but hey you have to try. Church shouldnt be a chore, it shouldnt be 'what we do on sundays', church should be a pleasure, a joyful time where you get to talk to other people and glorify God. Worship isnt something we do on sundays alone. Worship isnt even just the music that you may sing in church. Worship is the recognition of God and His gifts to you and I. Praising him in prayer, writing, song, speaking, thinking. Just doing everything as an expression of thanks and worship to God.
Give God the glory for anything and everything you do. He knows your heart.

I think this are both good questions and valid questions. I don't think there is ANY thing wrong with doing things that are sometimes considered "worldly" but ask youself....
what is my motive for doing this? Am I raising this activity above my relationship with God? (ie.. do I spend more time on the internet than with God?) Is this something that if God asked me to give up, I would be able to let go without giving God a hard time?
