Am I (are you) following Christ to please myself? to please Christ? or to find Christ as the ultimate pleasure? If I don't live until Christmas, is "to die" gain for me? Do I look forward to eternal life with Christ, is He my primary please? In what is my happiness based? Do I understand that Christ didn't come to help me deny myself of earthly pleasure; rather, to find my ultimate pleasure in Him?
Willpower or is there a better answer?
Josh McPherson at Grace City Church in Wenatchee, WA, a pastor that we know and love and whose teaching we regularly follow presents The Duty of Man: Pursuing Joy in Christ in his normal passionate, Scripture -filled, challenging, convicting, inspiring manner.
Whenever you get a chance to listen to this I believe you'll be enlightened, challenged and encouraged. Christ is enough.
