I thought this was a wonderful test that Pastor Bouwers presented at the last Building Honourable Youth conferance. (more info @ http://www.buildinghonourableyouth.com/)
The test is simple and addresses our actions and conduct and how we can know if they are good or not. It may seem black and white but there are many grey areas where we run into problems. Why not do it? Well, why do it? ...this test helps a lot...
Can you say thank you to God for what you did or want to do? If not, no it is not good but if so, then it is good. If all your actions are worthy of thanking God for what a blessing!
And a bible passage that also helps...
"Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things." (Phillipians 3:8)
Hmm. That's a thought-provoker
