God. The Cosmic Cop. Exposing the Killjoy Myth.

Many people imagine God as a cosmic cop standing in the center of our worlds like a policeman directing traffic.

"Hey, you! Yeah, you. You look like your having fun over there. Well, cut it out!"

God. The Cosmic Killjoy. All we want to do is have a little fun. God just wants to spoil it for us.

Conversely, we imagine the devil as a fun-loving imp. Comedian Flip Wilson popularized the phrase, "The devil made me do it," as if the devil is a "good ol' boy" who only wants to help us enjoy ourselves.

That's a lie.

The devil doesn't care if you have fun. He hates your guts. He will eat you up. Peter says that the devil is always "seeking whom he may devour."

Jesus put things in perspective and exploded this myth when He said, "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that you might have life, and have it to the full" (John 10:10).

The devil doesn't care if you have fun. He only wants to steal and kill and destroy you.

God doesn't want to spoil your fun. He wants you to enjoy life and enjoy it to the full. He wants you to experience a full and joyful life, the "eternal pleasures" that the psalmist talked about:

"You have made known to me the path of life;
you will fill me with joy in your presence,
with eternal pleasures at your right hand."

Psalm 16:11
