In in the current day and time, we are faced with many decisions to participate or not participate in certain situations and/or activities. Many of these things are not mentioned "specifically" in the Bible (i.e. watching movies, facebooking, smoking, sharing music, eating ice cream, video games, etc.). So, how do we know what to do and what not to do? How do we know what is pleasing to God and what is not?
