Where Joy Comes From

Posted by Josh on November 29, 2010
Posted in: quote, theology, worship. Tagged: Christian hedonism, for the fame of God's name, john piper, jonathan edwards, joy, sam storms.

“Enjoying God is not a secondary, tangential endeavor. It is central to everything we do. We do not do other things hoping that joy in God will emerge as a by-product. Our reason for the pursuit of God and obedience to him the joy that is found in him alone. To come to God or to worship him or to yield to his moral will for any reason other than the joy that is found in who he is, is sinful.” -Dr. Sam Storms, For the Fame of God’s Name
