Don't let them steal your joy!
Just discovered a book by John Piper on this subject, the last chapter of which was the inspiration for another Piper book that I have already been reading in sporadic snatches. Granted, I do not always agree with Piper (particularly on the subject of Calvinism), but he is a man devoted to loving God. The premise of the book is that our love relationship with God should release us to ultimate joy (as I mentioned tonight at dinner--Christian hedonism, anyone?). However, due to our sin nature and the trials of the world, we are always sinking away from it. Please, just read pages 9 and 10 in the PDF (13 and 14 in the book), which convey the message much more accurately.
