'Be Holy And Free.'
Colossians 2:16-17.
a) Do not let anyone judge us about:-
1- What we eat.
2- What we drink.
3- How we observe Holy days.
4- New moon festival.
5- Worship services.
b) These were a shadow of things to come.
c) Now the reality has come, that reality is Christ.
(This QT urges me to Be Holy And Free)

‘Follow The Holy Spirit.’
a) Romans 8:4. And do not live according to the sinful nature.
b) 1 Timothy 4:1. And not deceptive spirits.
c) 1 John 3:24. And keep the Lord’s Commandments.
(This Second one encourages me to Follow The Holy Spirit)

Sometimes we get very confused about different festivals that are held by other religions and may be attended or arranged by our non-Christian family members. Of course they want us to be there because we are a part of the “family”. The first thing we can do is to pray that if God really does not want us to go then HE will make a way for us not to go. Second, if we do go, it is good to quietly go and pray sensitively to the Lord Jesus through the whole scene. If we have to bow – then bow to Jesus. We should never make a big “scene” at such festivals and, if possible, take a back place not a front one. Thirdly, if those festivals are about us personally we need to ask God for Wisdom how to decline.
