Psalm five, verse four: “You are not a God who takes pleasure in evil.”
If sin is so enticing, what makes it sin? Why is it evil? If it brings pleasure, why does God hate it? Meanwhile, what if we had a God who loved the pleasures of this world? Would he forget us?

…speaking in general terms, i wonder if the kind of fun that sin brings can be “counterfeit pleasure”? There’s an authentic joy found in God–same Psalm, verse eleven:
“But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you.”
Good point, John!
