It comes in many forms: Is it wrong to drink? Is it ok watch R rated movies? How far can my boyfriend and I go? Is it sinful to...? What about...? Can I...? What does God think about...?
But what kind of question is that to ask; it's a misguided, poorly focused one, that misses the point.
What we need to ask comes from a completely different mindset, a whole new view on life. The true question to ask, and the answer to all these questions is:
How does it glorify God?
How do the actions we partake in, the way we behave, our deeds, how do they display the glory of the almighty God who sent His one and only begotten son to die for your sins. How does what you do show the world and those around you and even yourself the awesome glory of the creator of the universe. Once we've moved to the point of a genuine relationship with Christ, as we strive to walk our lives with him, our goal needs to be to bring optimum glory to the saviour of our souls.
Don't focus on avoid the bad, or defining the line; rather strive to bring yourself as close as you can to Christ, and be so far from the line that it appears as but a spec in the distance.
