Suppose you have been outside in extremely cold temperatures, only then to enter the home of a friend who offers you a glass of brandy. A few minutes after drinking it, you become conscious of a feeling of warmth and attribute it to the alcohol. The fact is, the alcohol will actually make you colder. It has for the moment caused your blood vessels to dilate giving you the impression that your body is producing heat. In point of fact, it is losing heat. You may feel you are warming up, but in reality you are cooling down. Your feelings have led you astray. An observer knowledgeable about the effects of alcohol could tell you what was really happening. But if you are relying on your feelings you would reject his conclusions. So, too, in the spiritual realm, feelings can often deceive us as to the true state of affairs. We must have an external reference point or standard of objective truth by which feelings may be evaluated and judged… All subjective states of mind and emotion must be brought under the searchlight of the objective principles of God's written Word.

"New Office"
 
 
 Having just moved into his new office, a pompous, new colonel was sitting at his desk when an airman knocked on the door. Conscious of his new position, the colonel quickly picked up the phone, told the airman to enter, then said into the phone, "Yes, General, I'll be seeing him this afternoon and I'll pass along your message. In the meantime, thank you for your good wishes, sir."
 
"Feeling as though he had sufficiently impressed the young enlisted man, he asked, "What do you want?"
 
"Nothing important, sir," the airman replied, "I'm just here to hook up your telephone."
 
 
"Moving"
 
When we moved cross-country, my wife and I decided to drive
both of our cars. Nathan, our eight-year-old, worriedly asked,
"How will we keep from getting separated?"
 
"We'll drive slowly so that one car can follow the other," I
reassured him.
 
"Yeah, but what if we DO get separated?" he persisted.
 
"Well, then I guess we'll never see each other again," I quipped.
 
"Okay," he said. "I'm riding with Mom."
 
 
"Computer Help"
 
 
Last week my wife and I purchased a new computer. We ran into some difficulties while setting it up so we called the customer support phone number we found in the manual.
 
I picked up the phone and called the number. A man answered the phone and I explained the problem to him.
 
He began rattling off computer jargon. This confused us even more.
 
"Sir," I said politely, "Can you explain what I should do as if I were a small child?"
 
"Okay," the computer support guy said, "Son, could you please put your mommy on the phone?"
