If It Makes Me Happy
“If it makes you happy…”
What shape should the Christian life take?
– Doesn’t God want me to be happy?
– Where’s the line between caring for ourselves and indulging ourselves?
– Jesus’ approach: Hebrews 12:2
Loving God, loving God’s law
– Psalm 19:7-9… God’s law reveals his heart
– Psalm 19:10-11… Joy is not in whatever makes you happy, but in knowing God
– Psalm 19:12-13… the ‘secret’ to getting life right is prayer and trust
“The law of the Lord is perfect…”
– How might this work in our own lives?
– How might this shape our community?
– How might this enable us to make God known?
