Is it fun?

Sometimes the distance between so called fun and

genuine joy is astronomical. The worldly fun just doesn’t

work in the church. It’s too possessive and too disturbing.

There are different categories of entertainment.

There’s the expensive kind,  that is usually very boring

but extremely visible, demanding, noisy and artificial.

Then there is the low life fun, that appeals to people’s

animal like character, well-organized temptations of the flesh.

Then there is the laughter and other emotional satisfaction

 that comes from God.

It will not cost you anything but fellowship with God.

This cannot be reproduced by money nor by show-business

professionalism. It’s not happening in secrecy, but it seems

to be hidden from most of the world.

God wants us to come to his presence with joy and singing.

In His presence there is “fullness of joy

 and pleasures  for evermore”.

Ps.16:11
