I can play the Violin. I dont know if Jesus taught me though, I was young and dont know how I first started.

My Music teacher is called Emily.

Yes, So true! I know with my self, I have taken and made my hobbies over and above God. I have too remember, God gives and takes away. When he takes away, most times it is for my own good.

Do I like it when that happens? No not at all it just brings me back to realization of who and where I should be focusing and looking at God and his unconditional love!.

Thank you, that's exactly how I feel. Full of Gods grace and joy. I will tell you a story.

2 yrs ago, I would become homeless. We asked a freind to take care of my dogs. Miss Princess was pregnant. (German Shepherd) Well the guy would starve the dog to death, and left her 7 babies for me too care for. We had found a home to live in, the dogs came, I was up every 2 hrs feeding these babies with a bottle. All of them would servive.

I would place 6 of them, and then there was my little girl. I could not let her go. She did everything she could to live and she loved and adored me for giving her that (Life). As she would grow, she would look at me as her mom, her master and do just anything for me. I sat down one day, and looked at the whole picture. How many times do we get into trouble, how many times does God give us the grace to move on and get out of trouble? He gives us a free will to do all and anything. But in the end he give us the truth of life, the truth of unconditional love and loads of Joy.

That was the day, I called my young German Shepherd dog. Miss Joy and that is truly what she is. So if we can all take the time too take our BLINDERS OFF, FOCUS ON GODS GIFTS, AND WHAT HE HAS TOO OFFER, WE ALL WOULD HAVE TRUE JOY IN OUR LIVES. LOVE YA ALL

Your hobby is a sin when your hobby involves Violence, Sexual Aggression, Sexual nature in general, Vulgar expressions.


Basically your hobby is a sin if your hobby is collecting gta games

G'day Guys,

Interesting thread, thought I might put my thoughts on the matter forward...

....I think a hobby (or anything) for that matter becomes sinful when it becomes an "idol".

If you put a hobby or activity ahead of where you place God in your life it is not a good thing.

As Christians God should take number one posi in our life, with the other things coming in after.

Having said that though, I think God wants us to have a full and complete life, which includes other interests outside the spiritual.

Everything in its correct order: God, family, work and HOBBIES

Best Wishes,

Rob.
