“Emotion—a fully personal (involving thoughts, beliefs, and judgments made about the environment and oneself) and somatic response to internal and/or external experience, subjectively experienced as some variety of feeling, which prepares the body and mind for action. Emotions are normally psychosomatic, body and soul, for human beings. Emotions, however, are not necessarily mediated by a body.” (Volume 7, Number 4, Page 60)
“As a result, counseling focuses on healing emotions rather than addressing the heart out of which these emotions spill. The biblical diagnosis is not that we have wounded emotions or emotional problems, it is that we have ‘me’ problems or heart problems.” (Volume 7, Number 4, Page 66)
“Scripture contains the norms not just for our behavior and thinking, but also for our emotions and affections.” (Volume 7, Number 4, Page 56)
“‘Mood Disorder’ which is a diagnostic category in the DSMIV,28 or simply that they have an ‘emotional problem,’ such as depression or anxiety. However, the secular mental health professions do not adequately define and understand affective disorders or emotional problems because they ignore the divine order and the Divine Orderer.” (Volume 7, Number 4, Page 66)
“One of the most popular and pernicious myths about emotions is that they are neither good nor bad; they are neutral” (Volume 7, Number 4, Page 67)
