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.
The word “church” is used one hundred ten times in the New Testament, and it is instructive to note that ninety-three of those are clear references to the local church… We may conclude from this large number of references that the Bible has quite a lot to say about the importance of the local church.

Slice apples about 1/4 inch thick. Place in a well buttered baking dish.
Pour melted butter over apples. Sprinkle with raisins, lemon juice and 1/2

minutes, or until apples are tender. Beat egg whites with salt until stiff.
Gradually add the remaining sugar to make a stiff meringue. Spread meringue
over apples to the edge of dish. Bake an additional 10 minutes, or until
