The cross is offensive because it directly confronts the evil which dominates much of this world.
The cross is an offence to so many people because it demands, not suggest, it demands a new lifestyle in all of us.
Sin is a disease in the human heart and it affect the mind and the will, and our emotions. Every part of our being is affected by this disease.
Pleasures are things that appeal to our flesh and our lusts. Joy is something else. It runs deep and no matter what the weather, what the climate, what the troubles, what the difficultiels are, there's a joy because the joy is produced by the Holy Spirit supernaturally in you. So the whole world can fall in on you and there's a joy that's always there.
