Sermon - Celebrate with Joy!, part 5: How the "Lordship of Emotion" Can Destroy Your Faith

from The Blue Collar Scholar · host Will Reitz

Happiness is a good thing. If something makes you happy, then that is probably evidence that that thing is good. However, if the need to be happy (or, if the need to avoid unhappiness) is the driving force in all your decision-making, then the emotion of happiness is the Lord of your life. It isn't the President, or your boss, or the Lord Jesus Christ. Emotion itself becomes your king. We must not allow this to happen.
