Welcome!
I’m Bub Kuns, and today we’re talking about pop psychology.
An article by CNN revealed that 90% of American adults believe the United States is “experiencing a mental health crisis.” (McPhillips, Deidre. “90% of US Adults Say the United States Is Experiencing a Mental Health Crisis, CNN/KFF Poll Finds.” CNN, 5 Oct. 2022, www.cnn.com/2022/10/05/health/cnn-kff-mental-health-poll-wellness) The article attributed this perception to recent increases of suicide and drug overdose. Sadly, 83% of those surveyed believe that medical professionals have a role in addressing this crisis, but only 39% believe that churches and religious organizations do. This mindset reveals a growing trend to neglect the most important aspect of mental health issues — a person’s SPIRITUAL CONDITION.
As John MacArthur noted, in our secular society, sin is “called sickness, so people think it requires therapy, not repentance. Habitual sin is called addictive or compulsive behavior, and many surmise its solution is medical care rather than moral correction.” (“Does God Need a Psychiatrist?” from Our Sufficiency in Christ, 1991, Crossway Books, a division of Good News Publishers, Wheaton Illinois 60187, www.crosswaybooks.org. p. 67)
Now what else should believers know about pop psychology? We’ll discuss that another time
