the pleasure and entertainment god
from The Olive Branch Markham • Audio Podcast · host The Olive Branch Church
3500 years ago, the Israelites proved that people will be willing to hammer their silver and gold into some kind of a little ‘g’ god who promises a good time. Fast forward to today, all the people who deliver a good time through sports, music, movies, and humour are paid very well. Pleasure and entertainment are high value in our world, regardless of where we are in history, and are worthy of our pursuit. After all, God did give us our five senses for enjoyment! But it’s important to understand that that’s where it ends. If our willingness to sacrifice and pursue ends with what gives us pleasure—what’s fun—then we’re going to be left empty!
