The pursuit of happiness outside of God's purpose and plans for our lives is hedonism. It's a life focused completely on maximizing pleasure in all it's facets without regard for God's directions and purpose. Such a life style alienates others and leaves us deeply empty and unfulfilled. Ie, dead! I might share some of these ideas this Sunday when Jesus' life is compared with Adam's life in my resurrecton passage.... hm?? Something to think about.
