Excerpts

Christian amusements

From In Green Pastures by J. R. Miller, 1890

"Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do--do everything for God's glory!" 1 Cor. 10:31

 
 


Amusement must never become an end in life. It must always be a means, a help on the way -- just
as sleep is, just as rest is. An hour's amusement, should be to you, just what a night's sleeping is. It
should make you stronger, clearer-headed, braver, calmer-souled, more hopeful, more earnest, more
enthusiastic -- inspiring you for godly living.

Anything which leaves a taint of impurity upon the life, or starts a thought of impurity in the mind,
anything which degrades or debases the soul -- is an unfit and unworthy amusement for a Christian.
Christian amusements must be such, as do not harm spiritual life; they must be means of grace.

"Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do--do everything for God's glory!" 1 Corinthians 10:31
