Piper has exerted some effort in taking a thoroughly humanistic term from ethics and philosophy and flipped it on its side to make it fit in a Christian worldview. Though controversial, the term “Christian Hedonism,” has become more predominant of late. Only when a believer is satisfied in God will God be glorified. In Christian Hedonism (as defined by John Piper himself) the pursuit of pleasure and ultimate joy in life is to be satisfied in God. He teaches and preaches that “God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in him.”… A strong proponent of this ideology is John Piper. Jared writes: For a while now, I have been pondering the hedonistic approach to Christianity. Jared, along with his wife, Krista, reside in Terre Haute, Indiana. He desires to see believers come together and practice Christ-centered living according to how the Bible teaches. Recently, Jared has taken to writing Christ-centered material with a passion for church going people. Jared Tee, a graduate of Faith Baptist Bible College, has written an excellent Biblical refutation of Christian Hedonism.
