Girls Just Want To Have Fun

Anonymous replies to posting 'What Does The Bible Say About Partying & Clubbing?'

I get your point but at the same time i dont understand what is wrong with hanging out with your girls friends and dancing with eachother (nothing sexual) but its not like we par-take in this whole drinking and getting drunk dancing dirty stuff...i mean not everyone is the same and do the same things when we go out we just like to have fun..listen to music...dance and enjoy eachother company...my struggle or ne one else's struggle are not the same struggle you had with the clubs and lounges...

There is nothing wrong with hanging out with your friends and dancing, but what are you dancing to? What are you truly celebrating? The lyrics in most of the club music is not edifying or encouraging. There is no life or true love in the music. It is ok to be young and want to have fun but don’t let the excitement of your youth cause you to forget your Creator. Honor Him in your youth before you grow too old and say, “Life is not pleasant anymore.” (Ecclesiastes 12:1)

If you are a child of God then you are a NEW CREATION this means that the old has gone and the new has come. (2 Corinthians 5:17) Before salvation we were in the world and lead by our sinful desires, but now that we are children of God we are to be lead by the Spirit of God. We are to live as children of light producing what is good and right and true. We are to carefully determine what pleases the Lord and not make excuses for sin and ungodly behavior. We are not to take part in the worthless deeds of evil and darkness; instead we are to expose them. (Ephesians 5:10-11)

Clubs and bars are not places for those who love and serve the Lord to hang out. Children of light have no business hanging out in places of darkness as a way of escape or release. We can sing, dance, and have fun but we are not to be conformed to the world’s way of doing this. Instead, we are to be filled with the Holy Spirit, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among ourselves, and making music to the Lord in our hearts. (Ephesians 5:19, Colossians 3:16)

I love dancing. I used to do the club season too just like Daughter of Destiny. However, the more I spent time with the Lord in His Word and in prayer the more I realized that I did not really belong to that atmosphere any more. The desire for the party life was not me any more, it was the old me.

I haven’t stopped dancing though. In fact I spent this whole weekend singing, dancing, and worshipping the Lord. It was AWESOME!! Friday night our church had a night of worship, Saturday night we went to a free Christian Concert, and Sunday’s service had an awesome praise and worship time as usual. So I partied the whole weekend with others who love and fear the Lord too. It was great!! I feel refreshed and renewed. I don’t remember ever feeling like that after a night of clubbing.

This is something that you have to take to the Lord. We have shown you several scriptures that address this topic and how we are called to live as children of the Most High God. All Scripture was inspired of God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. God uses it to prepare and equip His people to do every good work. (2 Timothy 3:16-17) However, it us up to each of us to choose to accept the Truth or deny it so that we can continue to do what is pleasing to us, instead of what pleases our Savior. We will be praying for you sister..May our Lord touch your heart and may you overflow with love for Christ Jesus.

Sincerely,

This Is Not the Life I Want For Myself

A Friend Wrote: Going through some crazy drama and don't even know why. Everything is too much for me that I'm gonna start going to church every sunday starting this sunday coming up, I come to realize that I need god in my life and just need to start my life fresh. This is not the life I want for myself... Been doing a lot of thinking to myself and need to just do and stop thinking so much about it but at times I just feel like given up on myself...

Reply: ... I can understand why you're tired of that way of life. There are so many factors that will rot away at your heart... drinking, sex, surrounding yourself with bad company, to name a few.

I can definitely say that God's made such a big difference in my life and I'm positive He will do the same for you. Knowing that HE loves you unconditionally and accepts you as you are is an incredible feeling! There's no need to feel ashamed or be down on yourself with Christ. Going to church, building a relationship with the Lord is the 1st step towards starting fresh.

I think you have to reconsider how you're spending your free time. Drinking as much as you've been is not good for you. Alcohol may mask your worries, fears & troubles for a little while but it doesn't make them go away. Once you sober up, they are still waiting for you... and you may have a couple of more issues like not remembering what you did while you were drunk. or having to ask other people what you did or didn't do. Or regretting your actions or words.

1 Thessalonians 5:4-8
“You are all children of the light and of the day, and do not belong to darkness and night. So be on your guard not asleep like the others. Watch for his return and stay sober. Night is the time for sleep and the time when people get drunk. But let us who live in the light keep sober..”

About sex... You body is as sacred as a temple. You should preserve it and not give it to whomever gives you the most attention at the time. Men will say what they can in order to fulfill their desires, it doesn't mean that they care for you or will be there for you. Multiple partners (especially in only a few months) is not healthy, physically or emotionally. Do you realize how many diseases/illnesses you're opening yourself up to? You're not sleeping with just that person... in a sense, you're sleeping with everyone they've laid down with. And emotionally, how is that effecting your self esteem? self worth? You are a valuable treasure. YOU are a wonderful person, beautiful inside and out and should be treated with respect and honor.

Psalm 139: 13,14
He shaped us in our mother’s womb, and we are marvelous inside and out!

Deut. 7:16
We are His cherished treasure

Song of Solomon 1:15
He thinks we’re beautiful

I value you as a friend and I pray for you all the time. I pray that you will build a relationship with God and He will direct you down the right path. I pray for your happiness. I pray for you to be blessed 10 times over, as God intended.

I'm glad to hear you say you want to seek God and I'd like to invite you to my church's service on Sunday. But please, whether you make it to service this week or not, please think about your lifestyle. Begin by dropping communication with those that hinder you and stop the drunken partying. It will only widen the darkness in your heart.

I love you and am praying for you.

What Does the Bible Say About Partying and Clubbing?

Lil Bro asks..What does the bible say about partying and clubbing?

Answer..The bible says “Don’t do it!” The bible refers to partying and clubbing as part of our “sinful nature” and goes on to say that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God.(Galatians 5:18-21)

Romans 13:12-13 says, “The night is almost gone; the day of salvation will soon be here. So remove your dark deeds like dirty clothes, and put on the shining armor of right living. Because we belong to the day, we must live decent lives for all to see. Don’t participate in the darkness of wild parties and drunkenness, or in sexual promiscuity and immoral living, or in quarreling and jealousy.

This is not because God does not want us to have fun or hang out with our friends. He wants us to use wisdom and be an example for others. We ruin our own testimony by hanging out in these places, drinking, and engaging in ungodly behavior. By being at bars and clubs it may appear that we condone drunkenness and partying. How can we hang out with the devil on Saturday night and go to church Sunday morning as if nothing happened the night before? People are watching and our actions can cause someone else to stumble in their faith. (2 Corinthians 6:3)

Hanging out in clubs and bars only leads to temptation and destruction. I used to do the club scene too. There is nothing there for us any more. There is no positive influence or encouragement found in these places only drunkenness, dirty dancing, drugs, offensive music, fighting, lies, and regret.

The more you spend time with Jesus the more you will find that you will not even desires these things any more. You know in your heart that you are not called to be in those places. Jesus is coming soon we must be prepared at all times.

May our Lord give you strength and courage to accept the truth of His Word. In Jesus name..Amen

Daughter of Destiny
