Anyone else feel this way?

When I am not doing something "God related" like playing the piano, listening to talk radio or sitting on the computer, I feel guilty.

But what else am I supposed to do in my down time after work or before work? Scripture/study/meditation whenever I am not working?

If you're not engaged is something unlawful ,by that I mean God's law, your guilt is probably self imposed.

Maybe your right. Maybe it is just accusation? Satan is the accuser of the children of God right?

An example: Is it unlawful if I choose to play piano over listening to a online sermon?

It’s okay to have fun. We need to keep the Lord in our thoughts as we do. Remember that the great commandment is to love the Lord our God with all our hearts, minds, and souls.
 
I think the it's self-guilt. If you choose to play the piano over listening to an online sermon, there's nothing wrong with that. I think we just need to make sure that we aren't always pushing aside God-related things and that we do put God first. God doesn't expect everything we do to relate to him.
