The Joy Mystique

The Preacher’s Snowblower’s Union has devised a new concept to confuse the masses. I have heard several preachers in the past month preach on the unique, rare, and magnificent qualities of Christian joy.

Over the years I have seen many preachers attempt to change the meaning of something by going to the Greek. How can you argue with the original language? Now they daringly attempt to change the meaning of Joy by attacking the English directly.

What does joy mean? It’s not the same as happiness the preachers say. It’s mystical and it’s rare. According to Merriam Webster:
