A recent commercial in my area says, “There’s nothing wrong with wanting to look your best.  After all, when you look good, you feel good.”

Really?

I find Christians using the phrase “There’s nothing wrong with…” a lot when they are trying to rationalize their choices.  But often it isn’t the choice that is wrong, but the heart/attitude behind the choice.  I think that ultimately, we know this and it shows in our trying to make something sound okay by saying that there is nothing wrong with it.  Whenever you hear that phrase, or one similar to it, ask yourself, “Is there anything wrong with…?”

So is there anything wrong with wanting to look your best?  Is this an issue that Christians should even care about?  I’ll post an update with my answer in a few days, but first I’d like to hear from some of you on the issue in the comments.
