Excess

 All things in moderation. The Bible says we are not to be mastered by anything. "All things are permissible to me but I will not be mastered by anything." You can have one drink, you can even have one cigarette a day. You can have a few one night stands, if you are single. You can gamble occasionally. You can watch movies that are somewhat worldly. But the key is to not do any of that in excess. Don't let any of those things master you. Don't become a slave to any of those things. Don't let them rule you. Only God is to be your master. Only God can be your God, not alcohol or sex or any kind of pleasure. God never says in the Bible, "Don't ever have fun." He just says don't get lost in revelry. Keep your mind about you. As in, don't let your mind slip when you get in the world. Keep your faith. Keep your relationship with God. You can have fun, but don't forget about God when you have fun. Know that he is always there, watching you. You cannot go anywhere where he is not. It doesn't matter what others say about you, but it does matter what God says about you. "If anyone loves the world or anything in the world, the love of the father is not in him." I think the best word for this would be obsession, and love is obsession, at times. If you are obsessed with anything in the world, you cannot say you are a Christian. If you are obsessed with money, or sex, or being drunk, or being high, or pets even, or your car or house, or your job, or your kids, or your spouse, or your parents etc. If you are obsessed with anything besides God that is what he does NOT like. Only be obsessed with God, and your life will always go great. God bless!
