ManageYourEmotionsBook8.5x5.5_RevJULY.indd

Church growth without improved emotional heafth creates spiritual dysfunction. Much of the rave over the course of my three decades as Senior Pastor has centered on some sort of numerical indicator. How big is your church? How many did you baptize last year? How large is your budget? What percent of the budget goes to missions? Yet, what does it profit a church if we add people to our rolls without guiding them toward optimum spiritual health? I often tell my congregation, "This church is a hospital for sinners and not a country club for saints." The majority of our prayers focus upon those physically ill, when it's the emotionally sick that need them the most. With that in mind, I've chosen to address what I believe to be the most misunderstood and neglected subject in the church today­ emotions and their effect upon spirituality. Delve into these pages and gain biblical instruction and insight into such issues as jealousy, anger, loneliness, stress, guilt, depression, fear, worry, and many more. Learn to manage your emotions before they manage you.
