Christians Like To Have Fun, Too

We are in the world but not of it.

Sometimes when people hear the word Christian they tend to have misconceptions about what the word means and what we actually stand for.

A lot of people think that Christians are not supposed to have fun but in reality, that is simply not true. Christians have a ton of fun but our definition of fun is very different than the world's view of what fun is. Our definition of fun consists of three things. Enhancing our lives, fellowship and bringing glory to God.

It is important as a christian to not do anything that will hinder our lives or our walk with God. So, yes you will not see christians at parties and many other social events. What you will see is christians going around sharing thier faith. The sharing of faith is one of the most rewarding things ever. To be able to see Jesus work in people's lives is an amazing feeling. I have no regret partaking in this activity because it will help others so much.

Fellowship is another fun thing to do. Fellowship is when you spend time with other believers. I consider this not only fun but very important as well. Fellowship is just simply hanging out. Why is this important? It is very important because it is a reminder of who you stand for. When you spend time with people who believe the same things that you do, you spend time with others your life is enriched. Not only are these people your friends but they are your brother and sisters as well. You can be sure that these people have your best interest.

Bringing glory to God is always a fun thing to do. In fact, everything that Christians do should bring glory to God. This is the best thing. God has given his all for each and every one of us. Even those who do don't believe. It is so important to give back to him. Giving glory to God can be done in many different ways. It does not have to be boring.

Christians like to have fun too! Fun is not defined by recklessness or living free. The definition of fun is partaking in something that brings you joy or happiness. I want to partake in something that will not only benefit myself but others as well!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
