Is God No Fun?

This is the title of an Evangelistic Lunchtime talk which I have agreed to give at Southampton University. I wonder, does anyone reading this have any profound thoughts on this subject they would like to share? I think you should be able to comment below (there should be a ‘comment’ button somewhere). If not, send me an email. I like the idea of pooling resources to develop a talk. I’ll try and make my final notes available when I get it all put together.

Have you read John Piper’s Desiring God

He basis premise is “God is most gloryfied in me when I am most satisfied him”

That there is real joy in following Jesus because that is what God made us to do

That’s the place of completeness for every beliver

Seeking to gloryfy God allows us to enter into the place where he remains in us as we remina in Him

I live in Southampton and if you would maybe would like to borrow the book then that would be ok

Yours in Him

Bill

Thanks for the comments Bill and for the offer of a book loan. I’m afraid that the pile of books I’ve got to read keeps getting bigger, so I’d better not add any more!

In the end, I didn’t type any notes up for this one, but I based the talk on Proverbs and Ecclesiastes. The basic message was God is happy for us to have fun, but it is more important to be happy and happiness comes from a relationship with Him. It made sense at the time.
