**CORRECTIONS/CLARIFICATIONS**

At one point I refer to the "temptation to think and feel". I meant to say "temptation to think or feel something" (implying something contrary to the Word of God). Obviously, there is nothing intrinsically wrong with thinking and feeling. God Himself thinks and feels. Rather, the point is what we are thinking about and if our feelings are godly.
