“This is the ultimate foundation for Christian hedonism and profoundly shapes a pastor’s pulpit ministry. As Christian hedonists we know that every listener longs for happiness. And we will never tell them to deny or repress that desire. Their problem is not that they want to be satisfied but that they are far too easily satisfied. We will instruct them how to glut their sou-hunger on the grace of God. We will paint God’s glory in lavish reds and yellows and blues, and hell we will paint with the smoky shadows of gray and charcoal. We will labor to wean them off the milk of the world onto the rich fare of God’s grace and glory” (Piper, Brothers, We Are Not Professionals, p. 51)
