God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Christian Hedonism is a philosophy of life built on the following five convictions:
1. The longing to be happy is a universal human experience, and it is good, not sinful.
2. We should never try to deny or resist our longings to be happy, as though it were a bad impulse. Instead we should seek to intensify this longing and nourish it with whatever will provide the deepest and most enduring satisfaction.
3. The deepest and most enduring happiness is found only in God. Not from God, but in God.
4. The happiness we find in God reaches its consummation when it is shared with others in the manifold ways of love.
5. To the extent we try to abandon the pursuit of our own pleasure, we fail to honor God and love people. Or, to put it positively: the pursuit of pleasure is a necessary part of all worship and virtue. That is, the chief end of man is to glorify God BY enjoying Him forever.
If sinners will be damned, at least let them leap to hell over our bodies. And if they will perish, let them perish with our arms around their knees, imploring them to stay. If hell must be filled, at least let it be filled with the teeth of our exertions, and let not one go there unwarned and unprayed for.
SERVES 6 AS A VEGETABLE DISH
In New Orleans this is a great dish, but a seasonal one. I have tried to
make it with frozen corn so that I can have it more often, and the results
are not bad. Of course, fresh corn is the best.
In a saucepan, heat the milk and gently melt the butter. Allow this to
cool for a bit while you beat the eggs and chop up the corn a bit in a food
processor or by hand. Don't puree it, as you want a rough texture. If using
frozen corn, allow it to melt first in a colander. Mix all the ingredients
together and place in a buttered 2-quart baking dish. Bake at 325 degrees
for 1-1/4 hours. The top should be lightly browned.
