The church has not focused on the search for joy and peace but on the forgiveness of human sin as the way to joy and peace. The church and its leaders proclaim it.
Unfortunately, for many Christians, the gospel now means "the truth of God's forgiveness" instead of an "expression of perfect joy." As a result, the search for joy and peace has been left in the hands of advertising agencies and entrepreneurs who sell happiness in all its varieties.
People hunger for happiness and long for laughter and joy. At parties, we laugh our heads off, but when we go home, the joy fades.
We cry out for the ability to lay ourselves down and get a good night's rest. We long to live our daily lives without threats of any kind. We have the largest military in the world protecting us. But we do not feel safe and joyful.
Join the author as he shares the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ and find the joy and peace you so desperately need in your life.
