What do you all listen to that glorifies God? Christian bands? Can you point me in the direction of some, please? Now I'm working to get rid of old habits which I know God doesn't approve of, and some other things I'm not sure about. I've stopped watching bad videos. Do I need to stop going to clubs where we dance and hang out? I don't drink there or do drugs or anything. I think I should stop going. Am I just overreacting? Also, something I learned from a friend a while back was self-spanking for the purpose of discipline. Does that need to go? Can that stay? And what of masterbation? I find it helps me stay focused. What does the Bible say? TIA for any feedback you may send. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the activity/location/etc. tempt you to things you shouldn't do? If yes you should consider ceasing it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bible study leader goes ballroom dancing. You may hear the very music that does not glorify God at the dance place. You may meet a non Christian person to date there if your not married. Not that all dancing is bad. ....if you are a new Christian it is a time to be extra careful of your environment. Read Ephesians 6. The armor of God... Praying for u right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to use reason when dealing with these issues, on if these things benefit your spirit. I have never been clubbing before but i have worked at clubs. I have seen what goes on but i am deterred because it can affect the spirit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad company corrupts good people. Most of us have been someplace you have been. Generally they are no good for you in any way shape of form. Cultivating new good habits can offset old bad habits.
