I’m not talking about educated vs. uneducated (though there is nothing wrong with being educated—Christ didn’t reject the Pharisees because of their education, but because of their hypocrisy and lack of virtue). I’m talking about making conscious voluntary intellectual decisions with the mind over vague and involuntary emotional experiences, like sorcerers use. It is a mark of true faith to continue to choose to follow the commandments of Christ even when your soul feels dry.
“It is a mark of true faith to continue to choose to follow the commandments of Christ even when your soul feels dry.”
Agreed. God gave you emotions though. Use them all to the Glory of God. Did not David celebrate BEFORE THE LORD with wild nude dancing at the bringing of the Ark into Jerusalem?
Don’t think that the grand blessings of the Lord shouldn’t be greeted with an emotional AND intellectual praise. God gave you both...use both for His Glory.
