Lasting Pleasures vs. Temporary, Fleeting Happiness

CHRISTIAN INTELLECTUAL STIMULATION

Look around you. It is evident everywhere. Humanity is in a “frantic search for happiness.”

The pleasures people seek are physical, and physical pleasures are always short-lived, futile, and often have future consequences, which are many times more harmful than the enjoyment they first brought.

Self-control, prudence, and recognition are prerequisites to finding true inner-happiness, not fleeting personal pleasures which are not the permanent answer to the frantic materialistic search for happiness. True inner-happiness comes from intellectual stimulation. True intellectual stimulation comes by the inhale and exhale of the Word of God.

Man’s soul is designed to respond to God and His Word. In other words, God making man in His soul image designed a vacuum that is meant to be filled with God, by God.

Your own personal choice, for or against, becomes the key for appropriating God’s grace, and building a forever relationship with our Lord and Savior.

Television, movies, sex, violence, pleasures, etc., (temporary, physical) are not what brings inner happiness. It is our relationship to God, personally, from which we derive total satisfaction – inner-happiness.
