For the Christian who sees temporal pleasures as by definition distractions from a life of godliness and therefore sinful, then for them this is in fact the case. And no one should say that he is foolish to avoid such things.

For the Christian who sees temporal pleasures as gifts from God meant to create a joyful spirit of thanksgiving to him, thereby strengthening his fellowship with him, then for them this is in fact the case. And no one should try to burden him with guilt.

For in Christ righteousness is not defined by rules but by what serves to enjoy the gifts of God, both spiritual and physical, in a way that produces a spirit of service to others.

As a Christian music group puts it: “Freedom is sometimes just another perspective away.”
