ARE EMOTIONS OUT OF PLACE IN CHURCH?
Are emotions exclusively designed by God for the secular realm only, or are they to be to be permitted in church worship services?
About the emotions displayed during the WELSH REVIVAL OF 1904-1905, some criticized the 100,000 addition of new members into the churches, saying it was all emotional fanaticism, religious hysteria, a mesmerized mob.
Some criticized the lack of preaching and teaching during the 1904-1905 WELSH REVIVAL, and that there was too much praying, singing, and giving of testimonies of how God saved and set people free from a life of sin.
Writing about those criticisms, Rick Joyner, in his book, “The Welsh Revival and its Lessons for Our Times“, stated:
“… people in a land like ours are taught to death, preached to insensibility. They all know the essential truths. They know they are not living as they ought to live, and no amount of teaching will add anything to that conviction.”
