1/31/10 – Sermon Series: Religious Myths and Legends – “God wants us happy all the time”

There is a common myth and legend that God wishes for his children to be happy all the time. This would be best described as the theology of “feel good religion”. The great danger of this belief system, is that it elevates us to the point where God exists to serve us rather than us living to serve him. When we believe that God is nothing more than a cosmic vending machine in the sky,  we set ourselves up for a great amount of discouragement and disappointment. If God doesn’t deliver on our every request, we become upset and angry because he didn’t do for us that which we think will make us happy. May we understand that the best thing God can do for us at times is to not make us happy. Why? Because he is much more concerned with us being holy!
