Pleasure is such a powerful, dominating sensation that it often overrides our reason and decisions. Some people will do anything for immediate gratification. But intense pleasure is not evil in itself because God designed us to feel pleasure. The problem is when we desire great pleasure for our own sake, outside of God’s design, because we are corrupted by sin. But is there pleasure which rings down into the depths of our soul and spirit? Yes! God designed us to be people who experience pleasure and not necessarily the deep, dark tunnels of sorrow, despair, and death. The LORD God has preserved a way that He has created in which we can experience both the physical and spiritual pleasures of His greatness. This starts with obeying the ways of God as proclaimed in the Bible. Why? Because physical pleasure needs spiritual pleasure to work properly, not the other way around. Physical pleasure was designed to permanently delight in the unshakeable joy and eternal peace of mind of following the LORD with our whole heart, which is how we can rejoice and praise His name under severe persecution and suffering.

King of Glory; Psalms 24-28

everything. If this is true, then when we pray and give praise to the LORD, we are speaking to the One wh... -
God Saves; Psalms 29-32
For Christians, praising God just makes sense. We know that God is good, and we believe that He has saved us from hell. The concept of praise, however, is easily misunderstood by people on the outside. A friend of mine once told me that someone had approached him, knowing
that he was a Christian,...
