Should Christians judge things by their feelings?

This is a tricky question, because it depends on the “feeling” one is talking about.  Most times too many Christians trust their feelings in that they like a feeling of excitement, fun, and entertainment.  These feelings can mislead a person, in that just because it feels good doesn’t mean that it is right or should be followed.  However, other Christians go too far the other way.  They ignore feelings that may be trying to warn them of danger or a false spirit at work.  We are called to have faith by God (Hebrews 11:6), but we are also called to judge all things (1 Corinthians 6:2-3).  We should go by faith and fact, but we also need to make sure that we just don’t ignore our feelings but judge them to see if it lines up with the Bible.
