Our Soul = Our Will, Our Mind, Our Emotion.

Spend the early part of the day at home yesterday but have being chatting much with Cinthia through the sms. BTW Cinthia, if you felt you need a morning call anyday, feel free to let me know. Hahaha. I always wake up early anyway.

In case you haven't notice, I have created a new blog with my friends, Briony and Cinthia, it's call BBC UNreal! News. Do visit! It's a blog of made-believe news for laughter, all of them are original ideas that come from the three of us.

Bible study was great once again! Pastor taught about the human intellect and emotion last night. Basically, the human soul has three aspect.

The Will - the determination or the mind set.
The Intellect - The knowledge that we generates and input in our mind.
The Emotion - Our attitude and expression of our feelings.

I will touch on the part about emotion.

Pastor was teaching that the emotion is to be well controlled and well disciplined. Having no emotion is no good as that makes a person doesn't know how to love. Having emotion but having it out of control makes the person hard to get along with or simply insane.

Something is wrong if a person is crying all the time, even at the smallest thing. Something is wrong also if a person is laughing all the time, even in inappropriate moments, it's freaky anyway.

Our emotion must be able to flow in the spirit. God is a God of order, He doesn't come to create chaos but unity. At any moment of time, even when we are slained, we can all still be consious of what is happening around us. YES! We can still stand up the moment we fell, when we knee down, we can also stand up anytime.

There was once a bible school student prostrates during ministry time and he stayed there all the way till the service end. Pastor went to check on him... and found him sleeping. Great...

Anyway, have you seen people kneeling down way longer than anyone else during service? Or people who will clap very fast all of a sudden during a praise? Or suddenly shout "halleujah" or "amen" or shout some other things or start clapping during inappropriate moments when pastor is preaching and everyone is quiet? Or the most classic example, when many people come down for ministry and one person who got slain just refused to get up and hinders the service? These are examples of people who do not have self-control and does not flow with the body of God.

These things are alright if you are alone in your own prayer closet but when you are with the rest of the believers, it just makes you look religious, fake and the word I wanna say, ATTENTION SEEKING.

Remember Pastor Kong shared a very good testimony on how he has a very good control over his emotion. There was once he was going through very tough times and he was facing a lot of opposition. When he was having a board meeting with his staff, he doesn't express his fatigue and sadness. However, the moment one of his senior pastor (I can't remember if it is Rev. Ulf or Rev. Phil) enters into the meeting room, Pastor Kong then allow the tears that he had being holding back to flow, allowing himself to cry in the presence of his spiritual father.

Emotion is indeed very important, it is a good servant but a lousy master. I have seen people who allow their emotion to take control over their lives and I see them having mood swings like a roller coaster ride. It is definitely not easy to get along with such people, I have being offended but such people many a times, they laugh when they are happy but say hurtful words when they are down and later they will "apologise" and blame it on their mood swing. That's bullshit.

Your emotion is part of you, if you say it's your emotion's fault, it is also your fault. When you steal something using your hands, you can't say it's only your hands are at fault because they are "itching" to steal something, your whole person will still get punished and get jailed.
