(just a quick thought)
So here I am, contemplating the positive versus the negative of emotions. Some people argue that emotions are just stupid, and useless. That they interfere with cognitive thinking, or factual reasoning. I agree that operating solely under emotion is more than stupid, it is plain dangerous! However, should we become these zombie like Christians who feel nothing. Or better yet, act on nothing we feel. I just "feel" that is not the case. When I see a young person with tears streaming down their face in the thrawls of worship, it moves me. When I see a family struggling financially, and the babies are hungry, it breaks my heart. When I talk to a teenager who is lost my heart screams out, "God help me find a way to reach them! How do I need to change myself that they will see more of you through me?".
I feel it comes down to this. If nothing moves us, there is no spark for change. So then we simply remain content with the status of everything. Every emotion can start the process of change.
Start a Movement!

- What's UP?!?! My name is Johnnie Denson. I have been married to the greatest woman in the world for 10 YEARS!! Together we also have the two greatest children in the world, Emry and Maya. We are becoming a couple of IMPACT! I am confident in God's plan for our lives as a family, and individually. I am a Worshipper. Every ounce of me(and there are a lot of ounces) is a worshipper! I am currently writing for a worship album that is killing me. I'll definitely be writing about that process. My greatest desire is to influence change in the hearts of people. I love pouring into the lives of young people. Music and teenagers/young adults are where my heart is at.

Great piece Johnnie... Jesus was moved by positive emotion too... not outlandish displays that but heartfelt emotion triggered by a heart condition... some examples are the woman with the issue of blood, the woman with the issue of blood, a hungry multitude, the thief on the cross next to him and the very people who took part in killing him.
As you know worship is the way we show Him how we feel... through our actions and emotions!
