The Culture of Joy (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Culture of Joy

There seems to be a clear and distinct call to go into the matter of the joy coming to us from God through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. It ought be manifest that if there is a joy coming to us it ought be better known. I had found the joy of Christ sweet and refreshing to my own heart and felt that I might be able to speak through the printed page some words which would help some other person into the joy and fellowship of Christ.

It is perfectly evident that many people keep their eyes upon the rim of religious experience rather than at its center. We make quite much of delight and pleasure and happiness and feelings of a trivial nature, taking it for granted that these form the kernel of the Christian life. These are as the husks that the swine did eat rather than being served at our Father's table.
