On the subject of the christian mind, the book of Proverbs tells us that "as a man thinks, so is he". The use of the mind is essential to our christian life and what we feed our minds with sets the pace for our walk with God. Our worldview is shaped by what we know.
Through the pages of scripture, we see the Lord make appeals to the use of the mind in the experience of our relationship with him, that it is through the instruments of thought and reason that He will guide us through life. What he desires for us to be, he will teach us and we will know as we think on them. Even loving God requires the use of our mind. In this sermon on the matter of the godly mind, our pastor emphasizes that truth, carefully thought through, must be the foundation of all our feelings and experiences. As believers, it is a grave danger to take leave of our minds in our quest for a closer walk and experience of God.
