Finding Lasting Happiness: A Warning Against the Happiness Gospel

I want to plead with you. Do not fall victim to the happiness gospel. It’s everywhere right now. Live your best life. Do what makes you happy. Live your truth. Chase your dreams. Follow your heart. Your happiness is all that matters. Most of us, we’ve done that. We pursued what we wanted. We’ve justified our sin. We stepped away from the standards of god in the name of pursuing our own happiness. And how’s it going for people today in culture? You can’t self help your way to happiness. Lasting happiness is not found in a what, but in a who. You alone god, are my source. You alone are what I need. You cannot self help your way to happiness.
