Let me add one thing to the sermon from yesterday, January 25th. I think it is possible to misunderstand my sermon from yesterday, and I should have been more clear. I was not attacking the idea of people being able to worship emotionally. Since we are emotional people, I hope that our worship, and our Christian walk engages our emotions. Yet it seems that at times the church has over-emphasized emotions. Unless we are happy, then something must be wrong with us spiritually. This is what I was addressing. Our foundation is not an emotional feeling. Sometimes the emotion will be there, but in those times when it is not, we must be connected to something solid - even in times of doubt and sadness. My foundation is in what Christ did in my behalf.
