God wants us to enjoy His gifts, Paul exhorting Timothy to...
"Instruct those who are rich in this present world not to be conceited or to fix their hope on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly supplies us with all things to enjoy." (1 Timothy 6:17)
Sadly for many Christians, the time to enjoy is gifts is all the time! In too many churches, the laughter of "religious entertainment" has replaced the holy hush of worship. The sanctuary has become a veritable theater. When the saints get together, the most important thing is to "have fun." In order to salve our consciences, we have a "short devotional" before the fun time ends; and we piously thank God that we've had such a good time
