Q4. What about recreation?

Picture: Q4. What about recreation? JTLD 264.1

Christians can have fun in many ways! Think of adventures in God’s creation like hiking, camping, walking, gardening, swimming, snorkeling, canoeing, skiing, bicycling, horseback riding—the list is endless! Also consider the joy of inspiring books, music, and creative arts. JTLD 264.2

Perhaps the recreation that brings the most meaning, however, is reaching out to help and encourage those who are lonely, marginalized, hungry, sick, or suffering from spiritual or tangible poverty. Christians will pursue forms of recreation and entertainment that strengthen their bond with Jesus and refresh their physical, mental, and spiritual natures. JTLD 264.3
