Are you a foundation stone, or a stumbling block?
• The narcissism that defines American Church culture today says, “I feel, therefore, that’s reality.”
o I feel excluded, therefore America is exclusionary.
o I feel like a woman, therefore, I’m a woman.
o I feel like my sin should be celebrated; therefore, the Bible supports it.
o I feel like I’m loving, therefore, I’m loving.
o I feel empathy for people; therefore, I’ll tell them what they want!

WARNING: Don’t think the narcissistic spirit of the age isn’t chasing you.
The Language of The False Doctrine of Feelings Based Theology-
• I feel like Jesus would want me to…
• I’m a Christian, but I don’t take everything in the Bible seriously.
• I feel like God would want…
• I feel like Jesus would want me to…
• I’m a Christian, but I don’t take everything in the Bible seriously.
• I feel like God would want…
1. Love is Love
One source put it this way-
The phrase ‘love is love’ is often used to express the belief that love is a universal human experience and that all forms of love are valid and equal.

2. Jesus just wants us to “be ourselves."
• There is no “your truth” and “my truth,” there is only THE truth, no matter how you feel.
1. All of Your Feelings Are Valid
Your feelings are important, but they shouldn’t be determinative.

CAUTION: It’s not “gaslighting” to tell you to control your emotions, it’s the Bible!
Just because you feel something, doesn’t mean you SHOULD feel something.
Value: Forgiveness
IT’S NOT OPTIONAL
We love mercy, so we show mercy. Forgiveness is for you, not for them. There is no spiritual growth without forgiveness.
• The first question we should ask ourselves when we’re offended is, “Should I be offended?”

There is no greater evangelist for atheism than a miserable Christian. You have a moral obligation to pursue joy!
DISCLAIMER: There are situations so serious, a “so what” attitude would be not only inappropriate, but dangerous.
We have way too many Christians who have bought the lie of the False Doctrine of Feelings Based Theology.
