Here’s the bottom line from my latest article in today’s Ministry ToolBox from Pastors.com:
“There are unlimited opportunities for people to find condemnation in this world. There is no shortage of places where people can be beat down. Wouldn’t it be something if the church could give people room to discover joy rather than offering another push or another slap on the hand? We should leave people feeling challenged but encouraged about their spiritual journeys toward Christ. After all, we want them to find forgiveness, but we also want them to find joy.”

I read the whole article at pastor.com – Are you using “fun” as a synonym for “joy”? Joy is more than fun, but fun might not be joy.
