Toolbox For Faith

Comments from Dr. Kennon Callahan about growing happiness through God’s grace. He shared this yesterday at the Seminar for Key Leaders at Callaway Gardens.

The Key to happiness is being with the people you love, doing what you love, experiencing the grace of God. - Dr. Kennon Callahan

Often in the church, we are too preoccupied with statistics and decline to be happy.

We have forgotten that grace is happiness. Happiness is grace.
- People yearn for a moment of happiness.
- Happiness is not silliness or superficial. Happiness is deep contentment, satisfaction, joy, excitement, wonder.

The world has caught on to the fact that people yearn for happiness. Buy this car, house, etc and you will be happy.

As a Christian movement, too often we are stuck on the cross and haven’t gotten to the empty tomb and the resurrection.
- The message of Easter is “Christ is Risen!” The resurrection has happened.
- We are the movement of joy and wonder, grace and happiness.

We would do well to reclaim a theology of happiness.
