"We live in days where many people operate on feelings and do not do much thinking. However humans feel as well as think, and should think as well as feel. This is because God has designed us in such a way that we have emotions. These emotions manifest themselves in our joys, our anger, our remorse and other feelings that we might experience. Emotions can be good or they can be bad... As with (all) good things, emotions must be kept in their proper context. But in our culture, we see feelings overstepping their God intended bounds because we put those feelings ahead of reason. There are many ways that people determine truth, but emotions should not be one of them. Emotions also do not determine right from wrong. Just because one feels good does not suggest that something is true. The same is true about feeling bad determining something to be false. In fact, emotions contain no content, no information by which to evaluate truth from falsehood. Our reasoning capacity performs that function. Emotions are a part of the soul that appreciates and responds to life. Expecting them to identify truth is like asking your eyes to taste and your ears to smell. Each sense has their respective functions; and emotions and reasoning capacities are no different." - Rob Lundberg
