CHRISTIAN PSYCHOLOGY
Psychology is the science of dealing with mental states and processes of human nature and behaviour. The Bible is a book of principles designed to adjust the mental process, nature and behaviour of mankind. The Bible and the Christian way of life are not a set of rules and laws to restrict and regulate man into a certain, old just to qualify him for heaven. If man would allow his mental process and human behaviour to be motivated and directed by the principles and truths of the scriptures, he would need no further psychological or psychiatric adjustment. This course reveals the biblical psychological principles, which if practiced would put man in right relationship with himself, his fellow man and the Lord Jesus Christ..
HUMAN MOVTIVATION
This course analyzes the different areas affecting and controlling the thoughts, attitudes and actions of mankind. A study is made to determine how the Spirit of God motivates people by conviction, conversion and indwelling. The motivating ability of the fear of the Lord and the love of God are evaluated. The word of God is analyzed to discover how it pierces and motivated the human heart and nature. Self- analysis is made of how to motivate, control and inspire people into the desired attitude and action.
