Lesson 4: God Is Passionate and Compassionate (Psalms 103, Hosea 9, 1 Corinthians 13)
Does God have emotions? The Old Testament often refers to how God is feeling. Do God's emotions affect His judgment? I know people whose judgment is primarily based on emotions, rather than logic, and I consider them to have inferior decision making skills. At the same time I am often blessed when people treat me with a positive emotion rather than the way logic would dictate. Genesis tells us that we are made in God's image. If that includes emotions, and I think it does, how similar are our emotions to God's emotions? Let's jump into our study of the Bible and find out!

Emotional Intelligence
Can the Bible help you get promoted at work? Can the Bible increase your pay? Can the Bible help you keep your job? Improve your marriage? The answer is “Yes!” The Bible teaches principles of “emotional intelligence” that can actually help you to be smarter and get along better. Bruce Cameron, the writer of these Bible studies and a law professor, has published a paper written for lawyers which presents 17 Bible-based rules of emotional intelligence which God gave us to improve our lives. Best of all, Professor Cameron’s paper is free and you do not have to be a lawyer to understand it. To get your free copy, first click on this link.
