Emotionalism? How Much is Too Much?

Emotionalism, there are those who think the more the better. Getting in touch with our feelings is all the rage.

I disagree, and say emotionalism often leads people to not respond wisely, but rather it can lure them into what feels old, familiar, and thus, comfortable. Sadly people who are like this often cannot be trusted as much as someone who will look objectively at a situation while feeling the realities. Emotions have to be balanced with wisdom and logic. We can respond with kindness and grace to situations which stir our heart strings, but we need to be shrewd as well, understanding that feelings come and go.

False religions rely largely on emotionalism. It is a tool the Devil uses to warp the outlook and response of people who easily fall prey to it. This is why families/mothers often 'play the guilt card'. Manipulation takes many forms, and within false religions, you can count on it being a regular attendee. 

I love true Christianity. No games, no mental gymnastics to make pieces fit. The love, mercy and justice of God Almighty there for those who humbly accept the blood payment of Jesus Christ.

Do not be lukewarm, either be all in with Christ and truth, or realize, you are all out. There is no middle ground or walking the line.
