We live in a hedonistic society.  This is defined as a society where most people spend most of their time seeking their own pleasure and satisfaction.  They may not always find the pleasure and satisfaction they seek, but it is always at the forefront of their minds.  It is usually pictured as a bad thing.

We might think of Las Vegas as being a hedonistic city.  In a sense, Disney World is that way.  Actually, our vacation may might be termed a bit hedonistic according to the general definition.  I might could say that I am hedonistic about coming to church, because I find it satisfying and pleasureful.  So, the negative or positive nature of the term, depends a lot on the character of the individual.

For the unsaved, I know you are seeking for pleasure, for there is none that on their own seek after God.  I do hope you will allow the Holy Spirit to convince you that you will find the pleasure you seek in Christ and Christ alone.

But for Christians, I don’t believe you are to seek for pleasure.  You and I seek to obey God and seek first the Kingdom.  Indeed, we seek His pleasure, not ours.  Yet, in so doing, we will secure for ourselves the greatest pleasure and satisfaction available to man.
