    Christians have used the word so often for evil that it is hard to accept the reality that you can also be passionate for good. It is Biblical and Christlike to lust for the pleasure of those things that are pleasing to God.

    Jesus said in Luke 22:15, "I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer."

  • The Pleasure Of Power Series

     | 2,358 views

    Power to do the will of God is one of life's greatest pleasures. Weakness that lets the flesh determine our direction in life is one of life's greatest pains. The great battle of life is between pleasure and pain, and which one dominates is determined by our source of power.

    Every day of your life you enjoy the pleasure of power. The power to flip switches and give light in the darkness, and heat in the coldness.
