11. Thoughts vs. Feelings
Thinking Feeling

12. Thoughts vs. Feelings Thinking Feeling
“Thinking and feeling lie at opposite ends of the spectrum. Human Beings are capable of either thinking or feeling, but usually not at the same time”

13. Thoughts vs. Feelings Thinking Feeling
“Many people tend to confuse the two processes. It is not uncommon to hear feelings couched as thoughts and thoughts presented as feelings“

14. Thoughts vs. Feelings Thinking Feeling
“A thought is something that one generates while a feeling is something one experiences. Thoughts are appraisals or opinions of what we perceive or experience. Emotions happen in response to thoughts or perceptions.”

15. Thoughts vs. Feelings Thinking Feeling
When feelings disagree with thoughts,
we tend to be conflicted or unhappy.

16. Thoughts vs. Feelings Thinking Feeling
When feelings guide our choices,
We tend to make poor decisions

17. Thoughts vs. Feelings Thinking Feeling
When we refuse feelings a place,
we tend to be dissatisfied.

25. Understanding Alone is Empty
Now concerning things offered to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love edifies Corinthians 8:1
