Reading:
The Sufficiency of Scripture to Diagnose and Cure Souls
by David Powlison
Braden's highlights:
_p3_"To promote any solution but God's is to offer opiates to the
masses, the stuff of dreams, not the stuff of real answers for real
problems"
_p4_"God must show us how to properly interpret our wants, because we
are compulsive misinterpreters: we don't want the true interpretation"
_p6_"In other words, the evil in our desires often lies not in what we
want but in the fact that we want it too much"
_p7_"The things people desire are delightful as blessings received
from God, but terrible as rulers. They make good goods but bad gods"
_p10_"Counselors never see the heart, only the evidences, so a certain
tentativeness is appropriate when discussing motives"
_p11_"You are motivated when you feel desire. God does not anesthetize
us; He redirects our desires"
_p12_"What God commands, He provides the power to accomplish: He works
in us both the willing and the doing of His good pleasure (Phil.
2:12-13)"
_p12_"Christian psychologists make the unchangeability of what we long
for the foundation of their systems. For example, many teach that we
have an 'empty love tank' inside. Our craving for love must be met, or
we are doomed to a life of misery and sin. Desires to feel good about
ourselves ("self-esteem") or to accomplish something meaningful are
similarly baptized. This creates the psychological equivalent of the
'Health and Wealth' theology, which similarly selects certain common
desires and accepts them as givens that God is obligated to fulfill.
The psychological versions of health and wealth miss that God is about
the business of changing what people really long for"
_p13_"To make us truly human, God must change what we want"

Hey Everyone,
This is my weekend to work. I'm on nights right now and am really
unsafe when I try to drive that far after working a 12 hour shift.
Plus I have to go back to work tonight. I worked last class too. I'd
much rather be with y'all. -Abbi
