EMOTIONS

'The Reformed community needs to look at emotions much more positively, as the Bible does. We need to play the pathos game. There is no reason for us to disparage or try and dampen emotions in the Christian life or even in worship. And if we don't have the resources in the Reformed tradition to express the profound emotions found in Scripture, then we should be humble enough to go beyond the Reformed tradition to find the resources we need.'
John Frame, The Doctrine of the Christian Life, p.382.
