Balanced Christian Living

As followers of Christ, we are to have a sound and balanced mind. We must avoid extremes. We are warned not to behave overly righteous, nor to be become wicked. I would like to discuss today several areas of life, including the consumption of alcohol, smoking, drugs, premarital sex, marriage and divorce, as well as music, television, movies and the internet. While we are never to smoke, engage in premarital sex, or divorce for wrong reasons, parents must still have a right, balanced approach to teach their children how to make right decisions. In other areas, parents must avoid to establish too rigorous and restrictive rules.
