I went to Abilene Christian University to learn God’s EMOTIONAL ROADMAP for living.
God is the God of order. He gave us the bible, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. And, he set up the church.
The church teaches the does and don’ts of Spiritual living. A spiritual roadmap covers living spiritually and preparation for an eternally life with God. The University has a bible college designed to teach preachers to teach God’s SPIRITUAL ROADMAP.
The University also set up a counseling program. I assumed it would be teaching God’s EMOTIONAL ROADMAP. It would address skills for successful, emotional, daily living. (Things you need to know while you were still on earth.) God made us. He designed our emotion systems. He gave us his word, truths and human examples in His bible.
I just knew a Christian University which hires Christian professors to lead a Christian counseling program would have the roadmap.
So, within the first week of being a student in that program. I asked the big question.
“When do we learn God’s EMOTIONAL ROADMAP for daily living?”
My professor responded. “There are over 300 theories for living. We will introduce you to many. And, we specialize in a few major theories.”
I was stunned. My first thought was, I am paying expensive private school tuition, and you don’t have the answer?!
It’s thirty years later and I am still on the same mission. I write these thoughts in hopes that one day I can assemble them into a biblical EMOTIONAL ROADMAP for living.
Thanks for joining me on this journey.
To God be all glory. Amen
