Welcome to Douglas Wilson's The Plodcast.

Before we get started, I wanted to make sure that you knew that Jonathan Edwards'

religious affections has now been added to the Christian Heritage Series

with an introduction from Joe Rigny

Due to the shallowness of much modern Christian worship in life, we can often think of the display of intense religious emotions as a hypocritical outward show.

And we are right to be suspicious, since the heart is deceitful above all things and desperately

wicked, Jeremiah 179.

Nevertheless, emotions are a gift from God and are a part of what God redeems.

When the first Great Awakening was breaking out in New England in the 1700s,

Pastor Jonathan Edwards approved of it and prayed for great revival. However, as a man who suffered from depression and melancholy,

Edwards also warned people of the dangers of relying alone on such intense emotions.

The center of the Christian religion is not our emotions,

but Christ in his goodness. This classic will inspire you to consider both your life and your emotions and to follow Christ in love.
