8 EMOTIONS IN THE CHRISTIAN'S LIFE
WARNINGS REGARDING EMOTIONS Emotionalism becomes wrong when it is the end in and of itself By-product of faith, not foundation of faith Emotions must not modify or become basis of faith Emotions tempered with self-control Gal 5:22-26; 2Pet 1:5-11; 1Cor 14:32 Emotions should never come from artificial means

9 EMOTIONS IN THE CHRISTIAN'S LIFE
The faithful are always emotionally involved in the Lord's cause. Early Christians were very emotional, so must we be today. There must be hatred for sin and false doctrine; grief for those lost in sin; love for brethren; sympathy for lonely and distressed; fear of hell; longing for heaven; and emotional in our worship.
