- As a person ‘thinketh’ in their heart, so they are and so they will be. One of the primary reasons the Christian’s mind is so important is because all of life’s experiences, good or bad, flow out of the choices we make daily as a believer.

This is one factor that distinguishes us from other animals. Indeed, unthinking people are rebuked in the Scriptures for behaving in a bestial way (Pss. 32:9; 73:22). “God expects man to co-operate with him, consciously and intelligently.”15It is true that humanity’s reason is now corrupted by sin, but this does not allow us to retreat from reason,...

Aug 2, 2023 · Our attitudes (or perspectives) are very important ingredients in our Christian walk. They not only affect our own outlook but also those of our families, our co-workers, our friends and neighbors, our fellow church members and the lost whom we hope to evangelize.
Feb 4, 2013 · 1. Hope moves us forwards: Christian hope is a realistic expectation of and joyful longing for future good and glory based upon the reliable word of God. The more we long for the future, the less we will yearn for the past. Hope deletes regrets and underlines expectation. It diminishes drag and increases momentum. 2.
The answer: the one you choose to feed. That’s why Paul urges us, “walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh” (Galatians 5:16). We have a choice to whom we yield. It’s hard to imagine that God can transform us when we struggle with Him, but He can.
