Whenever you start talking about the need for Christians to live holy, someone inevitably asks that all important question that compromised immature believers and psuedo-Christians tend to ask:

"Well dang! What CAN we do then?!'

People only ask that question when they still want to do sinful things. No, Christian: you cannot go to the club still once you become a believer! Well, technically you can - Paul said that all things were lawful to him - but the deeper question would be WHY WOULD YOU STILL WANT TO?

What is it about the Christ in you that resonates with the clubbing life? What does Jesus and vodka have in common? What does the Holy Spirit have in common with shots of Patron, while uber-sexualized music blares over the sound system?

What does extreme cleavage, tight pants and high heels have in common with Paul's advice to the Christian woman in 1st Timothy 2:9-10:

"And I want women to be modest in their appearance. They should wear decent and appropriate clothing and not draw attention to themselves by the way they fix their hair or by wearing gold or pearls or expensive clothes. For women who claim to be devoted to God should make themselves attractive by the good things they do."

It's hard to convince someone you are living for Christ when you just got done grinding on the dance floor with them! Or when you just got done sexting with them.

And for the guys:

"I desire then that in every place the men should pray, lifting holy hands without anger or quarreling..." 1st Timothy 2:8

Notice it said lifting HOLY hands? Fellas: your hands can't be holy if they were just clutching a blunt or a shot of Henny.

Neither can they be holy if they were just clutching yourself in a nude photo sent to some woman you're trying to have sex with! (Use your imagination on this one.)

Notice too that it also said men should be without anger and QUARRELING? You'll notice a continuous string of angry quarreling men on my page every now and then, trying to one-up me because they're offended with what I've written. True holy men aren't out there attempting to one-up godly messengers!

Your new life in Christ should be a witness to others that draws them to your newfound life: not something that becomes scandalous and a Christ-repellent.

Let's exemplify godliness in all that we do. Or why even bother with Jesus in the first place?

I've always been an all-in or all-out type of guy. Why play around with something as powerful as Christianity when you have no intention on living right? Where's the commitment at? You're better off just remaining a sinner!

"It would be better if they had never known the way to righteousness than to know it and then reject the command they were given to live a holy life." 2 Peter 2:21

There's plenty you will learn to do that's actually fun and highly enjoyable, as you start to mature in your walk with Christ. Holiness is far from boring!

But you have to first be willing to mature. And you cannot mature until you're willing to make a total break with sinful activity.

Remember: the first command Jesus ever gave was the command to repent. Nothing else happens in your Christian journey until repentance from sinful living first takes place.

God bless.
