We Believe In Pleasures And Rewards
Ecclesiastes 2:1-11
Christianity is no stranger to the economics of pleasure and reward. You don’t need to blush at the mention of fun. The desire to be happy is a proper motive. As J.I. Packer writes, "Pleasure is designed to raise our sense of God’s goodness, deepen our gratitude to him, and strengthen our hope of richer pleasures to come."
