How do we find genuine freedom to enjoy life's pleasures?

Why do we relentlessly seek God’s answers when in the midst of suffering, yet we never seem to pause with equal sincerity to ask Him for guidance or wisdom in pleasure and seem very uncertain about God’s presence in fun and pleasure?



We postmodernists blame God for all the bad and credit ourselves with all that is good.

Have we all bought into a belief that God is not interested in making life enjoyable?

Has the Christian faith somehow been moulded and reshaped to appear as a killer of pleasure or as a barrier to fun?

Have enjoyment and amusement now been handed over to “the world” so that the very idea of pleasure is seen as deadly to spirituality?

Can God give us a wide array of pleasures including the physical and the aesthetic that we may enjoy without feeling that it is a break from the routine for the Christian?

How do we learn to think constructively rather than to live pragmatically, making momentary decisions without guiding principles that will inform our choices?

What deep struggles and questions must engulf us as we are fed a steady diet of all that appeals to the eye and the imagination, with so little to nurture the conscience.

What damage could be done to us long before we have the maturity and inner strength to glean the good and to reject the lies.
