What are sinful pleasures in Christian living
Sinful pleasures are anything that comes between you and Christ. Seek God's will by asking yourself if the activity blocks Christ's presence, invites His holy presence, or you would take Him with you. If the answer is no, drop the habit.

If you seek honesty, God will show you what to do.
