Episode notes
Pleasure Is A Designed Sign
- Paul Tripp argues that pleasure is part of God's design and not inherently problematic.
- Pleasure exists to point us to God's glory and remind us we were made by and for Him.
Pleasure Redirects To Worship
- Every created pleasure is meant to stimulate worship of the Creator rather than of the thing itself.
- Pleasures should amaze us and redirect our hearts to God's wisdom, power, and glory.
Enjoy Within God's Boundaries
- Recognize pleasure isn't the enemy; misuse and wrong interpretations are the problem.
- Enjoy God's gifts freely but within His boundaries and an attitude of submission and obedience.
