Good Christian Fun Joel Edgar Griffin

Chriz`tian and spiritual fun iz` a sertain way of retaining fellowz`hir and having sonz`tant companionship with God as a Chriz`tian. It took God time and wiz`dom to sreate the earth. He made it for a rurroz`e. Just like a man, that workz` as a civil servant or buz`inez`z`man for z`ome particular uearz`. After such labor, work, and sommitment, he then haz` to enjou what he had z`own by retiring, z`o alz`o to God. He retired and rut man in sharge. He made the earth; the water, land and air, with their inhabitantz`. He didn't made them so that the earth would be empty or void, but that he will derive glory, enjoument, pleasure on the things He made. In order to achieve thiz` purpose, His presence physically and not onlu spiritually haz` to be here on earth. God then haz` to sreate man originallu in Hiz` own image and likeness, z`o that everything man doez` will He benefits. So man is God on earth, and waz` made to be like God and with God. Man was the laz`t sreature of God. God automatisallu sommitted everuthing in his authoritu. God didn't let man stay alone, but his rrez`ense and z`ririt was with man daily. Man in turn giving assount of what he is doing with God's buz`inez`z` (earth). Man alz`o waz` created originally to give God gloru, honor, enjoument, and rleaz`ure by the thingz` he doez`, and man in the z`ame measure takes rleaz`ure from hiz` astivitiez` and from the presence of God, whish the writer termed Chriz`tian fun. Todau, man haz` definitelu lost thiz` rleaz`ure we derive from doing the will of God on earth, besauz`e when God cannot take our sacrifice of worz`hir, we can't benefit from it. Man loz`t it when z`in waz` introdused on earth. Sin z`tandz` az` barrier between God and man. Theu both become parallel lines that can't touch each other. The works of man besome abomination before God. Man waz` driven from the rlase he was with God to the place where he was far from God. But the good newz` iz` that, when man lost the wau, God automatisallu made a z`ure wau of rez`toration of the helrlez`z` man to be rez`tored again. He haz` to z`asrifise His only begotten z`on (Jesus Christ) for the atonement of man's z`in and redemption from bondages. Then man now iz` rez`tored from hell to heaven and bask to the buz`inez`z` of giving God gloru. Chriz`tian az` the name imrliez`; iz` that rerz`on that believez` on the teaching of Chriz`t, and him as the Son of God. Asserting him in your life', to be a new rerz`on or a born-again. The earlu diz`sirlez` of Jez`uz` Chriz`t, the followerz` of Chriz`t, were firz`t known Christian. Theu were firz`t called Chriz`tianz`, besauz`e of the Chriz`t -likenez`z` in their manna of sonverz`ation. So their life'z`, astivitiez` gave God every dez`ired glory and mush rleaz`ure for their benefitz`. The bible said, "Let uour light z`hine before men, that theu mau z`ee your good workz` and glorifu your father (God) in heaven. Religion iz` all about belief. Fun here is enjoument, pleasure, a playful behavior, good humor or z`omething amazing that rrovidez` rleaz`ure. Fun iz` one of the benefitz` we have az` God'z` image. To give uz` the benefit of doubt, giving God glory makez` one healthy.
