FAQ: What does 'Hedonese' mean?
I coined the term as a shorthand for a "Christian hedonist", which means someone whose ultimate purpose in life is to glorify God by enjoying Him forever.
There is a kind of happiness that makes you serious. (Chronicles of Narnia)
Pleasure is the measure of our Treasure...
God is not glorified by joyless duty. Our duty is to delight in Him.
John Piper came up with this rather shocking way to communicate an ancient, orthodox truth. And a lot of people get stuck with the 'unholy' impressions raised by the term - hedonist, a pursuer of pleasure.
I'm basically changing the spelling a little so that people wud ask me what it means, before jumping to conclusions. Only when curiosity is roused, I get to unpack the meaning in more details.
God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him
Sinar Kemuliaan Tuhan paling gemilang dalam bahang kerinduaan umat-Nya
