THE WRATH OF GOD IS REVEALED FROM HEAVEN The text before us is foundational to our understanding of God’s revelation of the gospel. Notice the abrupt change in the tone of the epistle . . . Paul has just introduced us to the revelation of the righteousness of God, but no sooner does he mention […]

The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light, but if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness. [Jesus – Mat 6:23].
Many depend upon psychology and positive motivation for their light and they think themselves successful due to this light. Many professing Christians believe psychology and positive motivation are similar to or compatible with Scriptural teaching. But this is darkness and how great is the darkness.
Does it bother you that I should say psychology and positive motivation are not compatible with Scripture? The whole purpose of applied metaphysics is to replace God in our lives. A Godly man will seek the Word so God can produce fruit in his life (15:1-6). A positively motivated man seeks to produce positive character within himself and through his own efforts. The Word will lead man to God, while applied metaphysics or PMA will lead a man to himself. This is the sin of applying worldly wisdom to our lives. Paul warned the wisdom of God is foolishness to man and Jesus warned we cannot serve two masters. Nonetheless, we find it inviting to apply worldly wisdom to our lives, especially positive messages. Jesus said this is darkness and if the light within us is darkness, how great is the darkness. There is no wisdom of this world that can help us walk with Christ and if we are walking with Christ, there is no wisdom of this world that will be attractive to us, not even positive messages. Think about this.
