A Sanctuary for Biblical Logic

  And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his  purpose (Romans 8:28). This verse is most quoted for the Christian’s comfort and assures us that whatever circumstances we experience in our lives, God always works all things for the elect’s good, who are called to the unmerited salvation of the soul since before the foundation of the world for the glory of His grace. The lack of understanding of this verse causes some to lose faith when they encounter trials and tribulations.

When God promised something to Israel, He really intends the nation of Israel as the immediate audience i.e., the physical descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob who will reap the blessings of the covenants that will be fulfilled according...

This article is an overview of my understanding from the Scriptures regarding emotions. As this is not exhaustive, the readers may have questions and wish to find out more about my arguments. A civil discourse is welcome in the comments section for the mutual benefit of everyone. My friend, Marcus Chui, whose view is similar to mine also contributed to this article. Introduction Emotion is defined as a sudden disruption, disturbance or fluctuation of the ordinary calm state of the mind which, in itself, is not necessarily sinful. However, it can hinder, distort, or eradicate rational thinking if a person is emotional unto sin or overwhelmed by sin. An emotional person is unstable in his mind.
