FUN

 
    So what really is fun?  My take on the matter is that "fun" is relative, subjective, dynamic and controllable.
            The reason being that, first of all, I agree that there is not one universally accepted activity that can be regarded by everyone as being “fun.” Fun is subjective as it’s defined by each individuals life experiences and view of life.
               Fun being Dynamic: “Having fun” as a dynamic concept just simply implies that our subjective views of fun, would I say “evolve” or simply just change over time as we experience things.
                Fun being controllable is where I’m getting to. I put it to you, that it’s up to you to define what you find “fun.” Paul presented a dilemma in Romans 7:15-25, he presents the condition of the carnal flesh as always seeking sin. i.e, fun in fleshly terms is sin. But in 1cor. 9:27, He talks about how he disciplines his body, and makes it act right, implying that just because your flesh wants to act in a certain manner doesn’t mean you allow it. In this passage, Paul speaks volumes on the issue: Gal. 5:16: Walk in the spirit and you shall not fulfil the lusts of the flesh. Walk in the spirit and the flesh would no longer be your definition of fun, and you would no longer crave evil. Many new born Christians walk in the flesh consistently and wonder why they don’t find spiritual activities “fun.”
                So my point is, as you live in the spirit, Pray in the spirit, Study the word, meditate on the word, you start finding your Christian life “fun” and vice versa(if you spend time just watching movies, indulging in immorality, playing e.t.c you would find those activities fun) And take heed to this, lest you make the wrong choice of what you define as “fun,” (as I said earlier, its your choice to make) Note this Rom 8:13  For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
