What does the Bible say about it?

“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” (Psalms 119:105 ESV)

“Trust in the Lord with all of your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.” (Prov. 3:5-6)

Can you do it to the glory of God?

“So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.” (1 Cor. 10:31)

Will it cause you to be a partner with unrighteousness?

“Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?” (2 Cor. 6:14)
