The inferior picture of the absence of holiness could not be more glaring. It feels like church, but it does not produce righteousness because it is nothing but humanism. There is great similarity between sociology and psychology. The first deals mainly with the physical side of man, while the second deals with his inner person. The first is about how man feels and acts, while the later is about how he relates to his deeper self and his relationship with others.
Psychology is an even more pure form of secular humanism than sociology.
At least sociology is easier disguised than psychology. They make an incredible pair of ideas for the subtle works of destroying the vitality and Holy Ghost life of the church. Psychology does not need the life transforming work of the Holy Ghost. Even if and when it is stated that the church is still dependent on the Spirit, it is only a beautiful cover up. Every program of these churches, from the Counseling Department, the Ten Step Programs right down to the style of preaching in the pulpit, is a constant reliance on psychological ideas and principles.
