Pastor Richard Bacon used the term before. I wondered where he got it... But yes. Even the shorter catechism from the Westminster confession of faith, which I am very new to, but thankful for, states that the chief end of man is to glorify God, and to enjoy Him forever. I was a little surprised by the 'enjoy Him' part, but upon further study, it's completely true, as Piper points out. Interesting thought, and interesting practice. It's fun though! God Bless! ~ John. Christian Hedonism…

More Christian hedonists! I love the way John Piper puts this. Charles Spurgeon says similar things although not so directly. Woo Hoo! More Christian hedonists! I love the way John Piper puts this.

There was a section on Christinan Hedonism in that, too. :) I just finished the video “The Burning Center”- (or something like that) by Piper.
