  2. Joy: Fleeting or Forever? • 1 Peter 1:8-9 (p.934) • God wants us to be His (holy) more than to be happy. • We can have Christian Joy even in the midst of suffering. • The Fruit of Joy comes from being in Jesus.

  3. Joy, which was the small publicity of the pagan, is the gigantic secret of the Christian. • G.K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy, p.158

  4. The great danger that arises when we don’t experience authentic transformation is that we will settle for what might be called pseudo-transformation. We know that as Christians we are called to come out and be separate, that our faith and spiritual commitment should make us different somehow.

  5. But if we are not marked by greater and great amounts of love and joy, we will inevitably look for substitute ways of distinguishing ourselves from those who are not Christians. • John Ortberg, The Life You’ve Always Wanted, p.30
