Disorder? Really?...try SIN!

I'm so baffled by all this talk about disorders! Every time I turn around, some Psychologist coming up with a new disorder to help someone excuse themselves from dealing with the BIG ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM!!!! Check this out: Paranoid Disorder- excessive distrust and suspicion of others Schizoid Disorder- excessive detachment from social relationships Narcissistic Disorder- excessive need for self-involvement lacking empathy for others Emotionally Unstable Disorder- impusive actions & chaotic relationships Dependent Disorder- overly reliance on others Really tho? I mean who diagnoses people with such seemingly regular issues? I mean who DOESN'T deal with distrust, making relationships work, selfishness, impusivity and reliance on others? We all do on some level. And when we feed those issues/needs...they become excessive. Let's explore the REAL issue: Sin! Galatians 5:18-20 says our sinful nature is OBVIOUS!! "immoral ways, filthy thoughts, shameful deeds, worship of idols, practicing witchcraft, hating others, hard to get along with, jealous fits, angry actions, selfish obsession, constantly arguing and causing trouble!" Sound familiar? Lets stop running to man made mental wisdom for answers to issues God created the void in us to fill! Man's wisdom is a joke in comparison to HIS wisdom. He is able to deal with our disorders because He desires to make us whole/complete! Jesus, PhD, Psychology
