What is Christian Hedonism?
Lessons from a Love Poem
Then Let Me All My Pleasures Tell
For Noel on Our Twenty-Fifth Wedding Anniversary
December 21, 1993
I am a Christian Hedonist,
Though there are some who still insist
I drop the name. I do not bid,
Much less demand, nor ever did,
That anyone should follow me
In wearing this strange badge. The key
To joy and holiness is not
in names or labels we have got,
Nor is much truth or love assured
By ranks and titles we've secured.
......
So may the Spirit's holy flame
Ignite in us for God's great name
A holy passion, zeal and fire
That magnify Him with desire.
I hail Him as my joy in life,
And take from his pure hand my wife.
Johnny
