“Clubbed To Death”

Tuesday, September 17, 2013

I am a Christian, and my question is about employment.  As a Christian, would it be wrong of me to work in a nightclub?

Sincerely,
Bouncer Bound?

Dear Bouncer Bound,

The Scripture never specifically condemns working at a nightclub, but there are a plethora of reasons for a Christian to avoid nightclubs.  Alcohol flows freely in nightclubs (drinking parties are wrong – 1 Pet 4:3).  Nightclubs are designed to bring men and women together and encourage inappropriate behavior.  The music is often vulgar and crass, and immodesty abounds.  Nightclubs are meant to promote ungodly behavior.  Bad company corrupts good morals (1 Cor 15:33).  Hanging out in a nightclub night after night is definitely bad company.
