continued from "Who's In Your Car?"

Here's a quote from Andy Stanley's book mentioned in the last post, "The Best Question Ever".
"[Paul] begins the second half of the book [Ephesians] with a plea:
'I urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you
have been called.' (Eph. 4:1 ESV) IN other words, live your life in a
way that reflects the changes God has made in you. Or as a friend of
mine is fond of saying, 'Dont live the way you used to live. After all,
you are not the person you used to be.'

From there, Paul launches into one of the most practical sections in the
Bible. He talks about everything from sex, to marriage to alcohol to...you
name it. He gives instructions on what is permissible to talk about, think
about and even laugh about. The entire discussion is intense and thorough
and frankly, somewhat overwhelming. "

You may be wondering why I felt this was a "must" to post ...what was the urgency?
Four family members have just recently realized that their dear Christian friends who attend
their same church, do not have at all the same convictions as they do. Some are outright sinful
behaviors that cannot be denied as sinful. Since I learned this directly after our pastor's messages on "Who's In Your Car?" I felt God put it in my heart to share his thoughts and my own. Maybe someone who is reading this has discovered the same situation. Perhaps you are frustrated that your church friends seem to have deviated from the Word of God and even have allowed their children (friends with your children) to view ungodly things or even worse, as my one relative discovered her friend did not see the evils of viewing porn. IMPOSSIBLE? IN THE CHURCH?
Could a faithful Bible study attender say:
"What we do with our own personal time is our own business. Regardless of how ungodly my choices may seem to you, it's up to me whether I participate in such activity or not."?
Is this not what we read in Judges. Will every man do what is right in his own eyes. Will their sin effect those around them.
Does this grieve the heart of God?
