[Gospelchristianity] Feel?!?!?!?

[Robinson B. Heath]

As I watch Merchants of Cool and try to tick things off my todo list,  
I decided to write the email about what were are doing this next 8  
weeks or so.  I love public radio and TV.  Does that make me a flaming  
liberal?  Why are the criticisms so often more incisive and  
insightful.  I digress.

In an effort to allow the Spirit of Christ to address our whole  
person, we are venturing off into the oft-forgotten topic of Christian  
emotions.  Our group in particular does a good job of addressing the  
mind of man with God's word.  Our church and religious culture in  
general seeks to address the moral actions of man.  The last aspect is  
what Richard Pratt called Orthopathy.

For the next eight weeks, we will be studying the book Feel:the power  
of listening to your heart.  I will be making copies of a study  
guide.  You will need to purchase the book.  You will need to read the  
chapters for the week ahead of time.  On Fridays, we will talk about  
the reading, associated scriptures, and our own reactions.

Now watching "The Persuaders" about marketing in culture.  They are  
talking about emotional reactions to eating white bread.  They are  
talking about the unconscious aspects of our shopping habits.  Perhaps  
this is a an argument for this study.  If we ignore what our emotions  
are telling us about God, the world, and ourselves we are influenced  
by them without them being held captive to Christ.

Our first reading assignment is chapters 01:Feel and 02:Discovery.   
You can buy the book at most online bookstores.  You can get it at  
Amazon.  If you use the link, I get a cut.  At least I think so, I  
have never actually "sold" a book with this associate program.  I know  
I am a sell-out.  Don't buy it at Amazon if you can find it cheaper  
elsewhere or if it makes you feel used.

Tonight we had a pray night connecting with each other in prayer for  
each other.  We will see you Sunday.

Peace,
Heath
