Flourishing Desire - Redirecting Compulsive Desires in a Land of Addiction
21V hosted a middle school & high school chapel that took an in-depth look at our desires. Desire can lead to compulsive, destructive behaviors OR it can lead to a passion to know God, who is the source and fulfillment of all desire.
God has a plan to develop our desires to become great and be used for good.
We want to learn to see cheap, thin, ugly, short-lived, and destructive outlets as they really are.
We want to learn to pursue what is true, beautiful (not sensual), enduring, and life-giving.
God plants desires inside us. His intent is not for our frustration or abuse, but for a flourishing, abundant life. God's plan, our choices, the choices of others, our family upbringing, and local culture have all shaped our desires.
