The answer to the question, Can you trust your emotions? is an emphatic no! So says Dr. James Dobson, who observes that our feelings are notoriously unreliable and unstable. Indeed, decisions made solely on the basis of emotion are likely to be regretted later.
By using a question and answer format, Dr. Dobson responds to questions related to the understanding of emotions, including:
- is love at first sight really love?
- what does this scripture mean: "be angry but do not sin"? (Eph. 4:26)
- does the absence of guilt mean one is blameless before God?
- what do feelings tell us about God's will?
- is guilt always valid?
Here is an excellent resource and tool, both for personal study and growth and for use in group discussion.
