A couple things from this sermon just jumped out at me this week. Firstly, the whole discussion on sin, as it relates to Psychiatry and Psychology was troubling. I suppose I could agree that sin is at the root of mental illness. However, then we would have to agree that it’s at the root of all illness. So, I am sure you are not suggesting that those suffering from illness just look for sin in their lives, forgoing a potentially life saving medical procedure. Mental illness is as real as physical illness. To give the simplistic treatment on the issue that you did was a bit disappointing.
Secondly, I am still not sure where this idea that the Psalms are the prayers of Jesus comes from. I believe that you explain this at the prayer evening, but this week you just threw it out there during your sermon. Perhaps a better explanation will help me understand. If it’s just a theory you are exploring, please let me know, because at the moment you are delivering this concept as if it is fact.
