Dr. Feel Good’s Medical Malpractice // eMOODjis // Read

One of the few uniting themes across humanity is that we all want to feel good. We want our emotions and moods to be those of joy, fulfillment, and happiness. It’s not just us—God wants us to have life, and have it to the full! We have to be careful, though, because our Enemy is looking to take that godly desire for joy and give us a problematic prescription for how to get there. In the process, we end up looking for joy, fulfillment, and happiness in the wrong ways.

Guard Your Heart, Mow Your Lawn // eMOODjis // Read

It’s crazy what we’ll spend our time and money to guard. Our cell phones, our cars, our lawn. We put so much time and effort into making sure these things are protected and safe. But when it comes to our heart—our emotions, moods, and feelings—we seem to constantly drop the ball. Why do we spend so much time guarding non-essential things in our lives, yet we seem to repeatedly miss the mark when it comes to defending and guarding our heart?

Guard Your Heart, Mow Your Lawn // eMOODjis

One of the core, fundamental principles of boxing is to keep your gloves up. That’s because the second they go down, your head becomes vulnerable to attack. Did you know Scripture tells us to do something similar when it comes to our heart—our emotions, moods, and feelings? Why do we spend so much time guarding non-essential things in our lives, yet we seem to constantly drop our gloves when it comes to defending and guarding our heart?

EM(OWN)TIONS // eMOODjis

Have you ever said “It’s not my fault I feel this way...”? Of course you have. We’ve all said it—blaming other people or circumstances for how we feel. The problem is that when we do this, we take on the role of perpetual victim with no hope of escape. Think about it: if your emotions aren’t under your control, why bother? But on the flip side, if emotions can be owned, then it means that, like anything else that belongs to you, they are yours to manage.

In My Feelings // eMOODjis // Read

Why are we talking about feelings? Isn’t that topic more apt for a self-help seminar instead of a sermon? Well, the fact is feelings can be either the greatest help or the greatest hindrance in our walk with Christ. Faith doesn’t live in a vacuum, and unchecked emotions and moods will stall maturity. The sooner we realize our faith should inform our feelings, the better life will become
