Status Updates From Pure Pleasure: Why Do Chris...

“Out of compassion for those who don’t know the grace of God, who haven’t benefited from His forgiveness, empowerment joy, and life, let’s make doubly sure we don’t turn people away from the glory of life in Christ, by insisting on an empty fear laden piety that ultimately has no biblical basis.“

I’ve already been at the brink of tears multiple times and have only just started (those who know me well understand how significant that is). I think this is going to be a life giving and paradigm shifting book.

If pleasure becomes painful, if it becomes so surrounded by guilt and regret that you can't enjoy it, you might be under Satan's guns.

Some of us dishonor God by the way we think He withholds, forbids, and plays with our pleasures.

"Our self-imposed misery doesn't erase someone else's misery."

Psalm 35:27 Let those who delight in my righteousness shout for joy and be glad and say evermore, "Great is the LORD, who delights in the welfare of his servant!"

Wow this book is insane. For someone who is so “all or nothing” with a lot of things it’s been so redeeming to hear how so many of the “grey” things for enjoyment can be so beautiful !
