That’s a “boy howdy” statement how people no longer think, but are ruled by their emotions. But God did warn He’d turn the wicked over to a reprobate mind. That’s a worthless, non-functioning mind. (Rom. 1) That’s why the truth is foolishness to them:
1Co 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
1Co 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
It certainly is. It can be hard to have a discussion with people (especially on Facebook, I hear), because they're not interested in whether a statement is true, or even if it has a possibility of being accurate, but only in how they feel about it.
Emotions are my biggest hindrance to godly living.
It’s so easy to be led by them and tempted by them because they are so strong and feel so real.
And they are real, but what you perceive reality to be through your emotions, is not necessarily what reality IS.
When I was really struggling once over something in which my emotions played a role, God told me, “Focus on what you KNOW to be true.” (The implication was as opposed to what I felt to be true.)
I hope that makes sense to you. Often the times God speaks to me, contains so much more than just the words that it’s hard to articulate all that a simple message like that can carry.
