“It is important to remember that we exist as body-spirit creatures. We are simultaneously body and soul. ... This means that attention to both physical and spiritual aspects of our personhood is mandatory in ministry. It is profoundly dehumanizing to ignore the "heart" - our moral-spiritual disposition and the responsibilities that go with it; and it is profoundly dehumanizing to ignore the body and the strengths and weaknesses that go with it.”
Michael R. Emlet, Descriptions and Prescriptions: A Biblical Perspective on Psychiatric Diagnoses and Medications

“The fact is that we’re all somewhere on the spectrum represented by many of these symptom lists. So we should always look for the commonalities. Because psychiatric diagnoses are not discrete entities with radically sharp boundaries, we should be able to see at least a little bit of ourselves in this other person’s experience. For the person with the diagnosis, it means that he or she is not so radically different from others, and that decreases a sense of isolation and stigma. (Later I’ll talk about the need to recognize the differences and discontinuities in our experiences, not just the commonalities.)”
Michael R. Emlet, Descriptions and Prescriptions: A Biblical Perspective on Psychiatric Diagnoses and Medications

“it appears that Jesus is giving the disciples the key to understanding the Old Testament as a whole."10 Basically, Jesus is saying, "I am the lens through which you must look at the Old Testament. I am the interpretive key that opens its treasure chest of meaning. If you miss how the Old Testament testifies about me, you will miss where the story of redemption is going." This Christ-shaped (gospel-shaped) lens profoundly affects the way we go about interpreting and applying Scripture. This lens keeps our approach to Scripture "familial" and relational because we yearn to see Jesus in its pages. We desire to learn of the one in whom "we live and move and have our being" (Acts 17:28). And, as I mentioned earlier, it keeps as our purpose the mission of our king, to heal the brokenness of people and the world around us.”
