In a spiritual world of quick fixes and vague emotion, is it crazy to believe there is still a place for insights based on simple, basic, theological understanding. I believe it is worth exploring.

Old Erich Proverb - Denial
Life with God involves both joy and sorrow, and neither should be totally denied.
There are some who try to put forth the idea that if you follow God you will not have any problems and always be happy. There are others of the more stoic sort who see following God has deadly serious and have no place for real rejoicing. I believe both extremes should be rejected.
How do you see people denying these things?

DeleteMy thinking is that joy gets us through hard times. More of my thoughts from last mnth at http://redeemed.kcbob.com/2015/08/joy.html
DeleteI would agree with that. I just trying to avoid the denial of either.
