We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

What the Bible Says About Joy: 1. Jesus’ aim in all He taught was the joy of His people (Jn. 15:11). 2. Joy is what God fills us with when we trust in Christ (Rom. 15:13). 3. The kingdom of God is joy (Rom. 14:17). 4. Joy is the fruit of God’s Spirit within us (Gal. 5:22). 5. Joy is the aim of everything the apostles did and wrote (2 Cor. 1:24). 6. Becoming a Christian is finding a joy that makes you willing to forsake everything (Mat. 13:44). 7. Joy is nourished and sustained by the word of God in the Bible (Psm. 19:8). 8. Joy will overtake all sorrow for those who trust Christ (Psm. 126:5; 30:5) 9. God Himself is our joy (Psm. 43:4; 16:11). 10. Joy in God outstrips all earthly joy (Psm. 4:7) 11. If your joy is in God, no one can take your joy from you (Jn. 16:22). 12. God calls all nations and peoples to join in the joy He offers to all who believe. No racism. No ethnocentrism (Psm. 67:4; Psm. 66:1). 13. The whole Christian message from beginning to end is good news of great joy (Lk. 2:10; Isa. 51:11). 14. When we meet Christ at His second coming we will enter into his indestructible joy (Mt. 25:23).
John Piper

The contemporary church has been hemorrhaging truth and pumping in self-worship at such a rate that unbelievers, longing to drown their guilt and angst in religious renewal, find churchgoing a welcome and undemanding refuge. And why shouldn’t they? The average fad-soaked postmodern worship service has just enough morality to soothe the secular conscience and enough worldliness to leave superficial Christians feeling right at home.
