PARTYING or CLUBBING like the world is a SIN for "Christians". The Bible says it. What does that mean? That means don't go the NIGHTCLUBS, don't go to BARS, don't hang someone's HOUSE party who has more liquor than the bars and everyone is drinking. Yes! I said it! Why? Because these environments always involve sex, drunkenness, and drugs. Girls night out or guys night out if you are married also applies. Too many Christians are doing this or maybe they are really non-Christians!!!
To put it bluntly, nightclubs are part of the world which is controlled by Satan. They are designed for the purpose of giving oneself over to sinful desires. Nightclubs exist primarily for two purposes: drinking alcohol and/or meeting members of the opposite sex, most often with sexual activity in mind. Yes, there are music and dancing (most of that is sexual in nature as well), but primarily singles in particular go clubbing to drink and meet someone. Sex, alcohol, and drugs—all found in most nightclubs—are very destructive, both physically and spiritually. God has a place for sex where it is the most enjoyable—in monogamous marriage, where there are no STD's, HIV, guilt, aloneness—and those who don't believe God in this are short-changing themselves. "CHRISTIANITY 101."
Nightclubs/Bars/House Partying are of the world, and, while Christians
are to be in the world, we are not to be of it. Who cares if your
friends say you are too strict or judgmental??! I know so many
"Christians" even in Christian leadership(not at my church) that are
doing this. Remember...It will always destroy your witness and tempt you
as well. Bad company corrupts good character (1 Corinthians 15:33).
"For the time already past is sufficient for you to have carried out the desire of the Gentiles, having pursued a course of sensuality, lusts, drunkenness, carousing, drinking parties and abominable idolatries. In all this, they are surprised that you do not run with them into the same excesses of dissipation, and they malign you; but they will give account to Him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.… 1 Peter 4: 3-5
