Quote Source – John Piper
A Biblical Christian worldview perspective – Piper went on to say (details here)…
“My feelings do not define truth. God’s word defines truth. My feelings are echoes and responses to what my mind perceives. And sometimes – many times – my feelings are out of sync with the truth. When that happens – and it happens every day in some measure – I try not to bend the truth to justify my imperfect feelings, but rather, I plead with God: Purify my perceptions of your truth and transform my feelings so that they are in sync with the truth.”
Our “feelings” come from either the Holy Spirit calling within us God’s truth OR our sin nature bent on ignoring God. Since we are often so blinded by this world, our safest response is to measure our feelings and desires against the unchanging Word of God.
