Emotions And Sensory Spirituality

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Jan 24, 2017

God never intended emotions or feelings to guide or reveal what is right or wrong. They are constantly changing, and they need to be controlled because they can take control of a person and lead them into serious error and deception.

They are essential for processing, learning, perception, reasoning, problem-solving and adapting to the events of ...read more
