Some fundamentalists go so far as to reject psychology as a disciplined study, which is unfortunate and polarizing. By definition, psychology is the study of the soul, theology is the study of God. Generally speaking, systematic theology is a study of all the essential doctrines of faith, and that would include the study of our souls (psychology).

A Christian is not simply a person who is forgiven and goes to heaven. A Christian, in terms of his or her deepest identity, is a saint, a spiritually born child of God, a divine masterpiece, a child of light, a citizen of heaven.

When you resort to shouting in conflict, you are reacting in the flesh. You have lost control of the only person you can control: yourself.

The major strategy of Satan is to distort the character of God and the truth of who we are. He can't change God and he can't do anything to change our identity and position in Christ. If, however, he can get us to believe a lie, we will live as though our identity in Christ isn't true.

The essence of temptation is the invitation to live independently of God.

Freedom from spiritual conflicts and bondage is not a power encounter; it's a truth encounter.

The more you reaffirm who you are in Christ, the more your behavior will begin to reflect your true identity.
