Fun? Neil’s writing about fun today? Well, yes…joy, actually. And he’s right – fun, joy, whatever the term, is a big part of serving God!
It’s my opinion that someone who think being a Christian is dull or anti-fun doesn’t know what serving God is really about. Sure, there are the uptight ones who can suck the fun out of a room in under 10 seconds, but I wouldn’t exactly call those people my role models. Something is clearly out of balance; Jesus was anti-legalism, the way I read it.
Some of the most mature believers I know are also some of the most funny, fun people I know. What’s more, I think that the joy of living a life that’s blessed and fulfilled is something that draws unbelievers. God gave us a sense of humor for a reason!
So I had to get past this very un-fun sentence from Neil: The secret to enjoying uninhibited spontaneity as a Christian is in removing non-scriptural inhibitors…to get his point, which is that the less we are concerned about pleasing people, the more free we are to please God, and experience total joy.
Now that’s something I can get behind.
