    Pseudo-Science Vs. Sanctification

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Feb 23, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,624 views

    The Bible implores every Christian to “live by the Spirit” (Gal 5:16 NIV). This is no easy task and requires full submission to God of every minute detail of one’s life.

    Some of the most recent human-made ideas to help bring about “spiritual” living, and help Christians better understand themselves - as well as others - to live in unity and purpose together, is the use of personality tests and gift assessments. Psychological job placement and career tests are used ...read more
