I am happlily married with 5 kids. I am an accoutant and worked in an accounting field for over 25 years. I like to make a habit of writing down whenever I have deep thoughts about God (so I won't forget). I really into Reformed Theology that is connected to Presbyterian Church in America.

I used to smoke

I am glad that I quit smoking.The bible doesn't say anything about "smoking". Therefore it is not a religious issue. It is a health issue. In 1 Corinthians 6:19–20 that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, therefore glorify God in your body. That means look after it; don't fill it with substances that will harm you. In 1 Corinthians 10:23 that even though something may be lawful (like smoking), that does not mean it is good for you. There are two general principles which help Christians decide whether they should use or agree regarding smoking: Caring for ourselves and caring for others. Christians should ask two questions:How would smoking affect our bodies? Will it affect our relationship with God?
