Emotion v/s Will

Emotions are a powerful thing and God created them. As teachers we are constantly presented with situations where we have the opportunity to tap into people's emotion. The level of responsibility in these moments are insanely intense. More than anything I want the preaching of God's word to bring change to people's lives. However, if we aim our message at the emotion, we set ourselves up for an emotional response. Emotional responses may or may not be authentic, I am not the judge. However, If we direct our preaching at the will, we eliminate the up and down of our emotion as is relates to our response. The will is breeding ground for change. Although an emotional message is more exciting, the best way to apply the truth of God's word is to aim it directly at the will.
