One of the things that cherish about being a Christian is that my regular life is not separated from my faith. There is no sacred and secular. Everything in the life of a Christian is sacred. Every decision we make is filtered through, how would this be honoring to Christ? How is this obeying the Word of God? And taking, for example, the family vacation. Is that selfish, or is it a godly thing to do? Well, it depends. Are you fulfilling your God-given responsibilities to provide for your family, and now you've earned the ability to take a few days, and to enjoy time with your family? Then absolutely, that's a wonderful thing to do, as the leader of your family. But if you're taking a vacation because it's an escape from reality, and because you don't wanna face certain issues in your life, and you're just using it as escapism, then that becomes an issue of faith, and, perhaps, lack of faith. And so as you filter this and any other issue through obedience to Christ and his Word, you'll find yourself able to make a good choice.
