Don’t Run On Emotions!


Just because we have a moving experience when we read a passage of Scripture does not mean that we have understood it properly, or that it is God telling us something through that verse. What God tells us through a verse is what the verse actually means in context. God is not going to tell you  something through a personal, emotional experience that is contrary to the meaning of the passage. You cannot let your emotional experiences be the standard by which you determine the meaning of Scripture.

    That quote is applicable to many within the church today.
