"To emote or not to emote, that is the question."

We had a wonderful meeting this morning. It was wonderful because the Spirit of God was in our midst. The singing was in the Spirit. The testimonies and exhortations were in the Spirit. The praying was in the Spirit. And the teaching was in the Spirit.

Bro Dillow took on the issue of emotionalism today. He laid a good foundation for discussion on the purpose of our emotions. He pointed that our emotions should originate from the heart. We should never have to be emotionally manipulated nor should we ever seek to manipulate others through their emotions.

On one side of the spectrum of religion, there are people who use extreme emotional appeals to crate excessive emotionalism. On the other extreme side there are those who are formalist and do not allow their emotions to flow freely from the heart. Both extremes are sinful.

It was a great lesson with much participation from the saints.
