It Is Important That When We Come

Foolish Talking And Jesting Are Not The Ways In Which Christian Cheerfulness Should Express Itself, But Rather "giving Of Thanks" (eph. 5:4). Religion Is The Source Of Joy And Gladness, But Its Joy Is Expressed In A Religious Way, In Thanksgiving And Praise.

To Be In Christ Is The Source Of The Christian Life; To Be Like Christ Is The Sum Of His Excellence; To Be With Christ Is The Fullness Of His Joy.
