Everyday life possesses its own modest joys and sorrows, but just as the drug addict begins to believe that every bump along the road requires an injection, so too we can become addicted to big emotional experiences. The comparison would horrify them, but the pastors and members of such churches have more in common with drug pushers and users than with the Apostles and disciples we meet in the Scriptures. But catering to people's weaknesses can only make them weaker and not stronger. Manipulating people's emotions can only make them more dependent and less dependable. It is a shocking and exemplary fact, then, that atheists have a lower divorce rate than the members of emotion-based churches, despite the Bible's clear teaching about the sanctity and the duties of marriage.
Emotion is, first of all, a poor judge of truth.
What we feel about the revealed truth of the Blessed and Undivided Trinity cannot change the identity of God. Our emotional state has absolutely no effect on the moral obligation of God's commandments. Likewise, emotion is a poor guide to right behavior. Emotional decisions routinely turn out to be bad decisions. What goes missing in this world dominated by emotions is the simple fact that the greatest gift that parents can give to any child is their honorable marriage and a home ordered according to the discipline of faith in Jesus Christ.
