Cultivating Godly Emotion

web_cover_imageIn Feelings and Faith, Brian Borgman draws from his extensive biblical knowledge and pastoral experience to help readers understand emotion within the Christian faith. Borgman establishes the theology of godly emotions and practically applies truth to help Christians put to death ungodly displays of anger, unforgiveness, bitterness, fear, anxiety, worry, and depression.

This new Crossway release is a valued resource in personal study, marriages, small groups, and Sunday school—as it teaches glorious gospel truths to help believers grow in Christlike character.

“Borgman shows that love for God is more than feelings, but never less, and that there is a huge difference between emotionalism and God-centered emotion. If you have been looking for a clear, practical, and balanced book on the appropriate role of feelings in the Christian life, look no further.”  Tullian Tchividjian, pastor, New City Church; author, Unfashionable: Making a Difference in the World by Being Different

Feelings and Faith provides unusual insight and wisdom for growth in holiness through understanding better the crucial role godly emotions play in our lives, as God designed them to do. Here is a valuable resource for personal study, marriages, small groups, and Sunday schools.” – Bruce and Jodi Ware, president of the Evangelical Theological Society in 2009, professor of Christian theology at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.

Jack Graham’s Powering Up

powering-upJoin Jack Graham and Moody Radio’s Greg Wheatley on Prime Time America today at 4pm CT as they discuss Graham’s new release, Powering Up. (Graham’s interview is third in the lineup.)

Fatigue, inconsistency, and complacency can easily permeate our spiritual lives, especially when facing seasons of trial. While we may become weary in maintaining a disciplined prayer life, become enslaved to hard-to-break habits, have difficulty controlling our thoughts, our mouths, and our appetites—Graham unpacks God’s word to remind us that the same power that raised Christ from the dead is at work in us.

Rather than a defeated life distanced from Christ, we have been called to a life empowered by the Holy Spirit to execute God’s work for his glory. By God’s grace, may this resource greatly benefit Christians and Christ-centered churches that seek to develop active and transforming faith, that seek strength to stand firm against opposition, persist amid persecution, and be used in mighty ways for God’s kingdom.
