19. What Bible examples show that it is not sinful for families to have fun?
19 Does the Bible condemn having fun? Far from it! The Bible says that there is “a time to laugh . . . and a time to skip about.”b (Ecclesiastes 3:4) God’s people in ancient Israel enjoyed music and dancing, games, and riddles. Jesus Christ attended a large wedding feast and “a big reception feast” that Matthew Levi put on for him. (Luke 5:29; John 2:1, 2) Clearly, Jesus was no killjoy. May laughter and fun never be viewed as sins in your household!
