Renewing Our Minds,pt1

Timothy Witmer writes in MINDSCAPE, "'What were you thinking?'This is a question commonly heard when people are called to give an account for their actions, or even their words. Disappointed or angry parents speak them to their children. Bosses use this question to express the dismay they have for an underperforming employee. It can also be heard in the hallways of our schools, as teachers seek to get to the bottom of student behavior. There are innumerable other contexts in which the question has been raised throughout human history. You may have even asked yourself, 'What was I thinking?' after you did something that was perplexing to yourself! No matter what context it's used in, the question points to the fact that we are rational creatures made in the image of God. Human behavior doesn't just come out of nowhere but is the result of a thoughtful process." So, friend, how is YOUR thought life? What if, for just one day, your secret and most intimate thoughts were broadcast for everyone else to see and hear? Most of us can't help but cringe at the thought. No matter how respectable our outward behavior, if all the wayward thoughts and sinful attitudes concealed in our hearts were exposed, it wouldn't take long for people's idea of us to change completely. But think about it...God is the audience to all your thoughts. Would you like help changing sinful thought patterns and replacing them with righteous thoughts, habitually? Wouldn't you like to have biblical thoughts that lead to God-glorifying actions? Join us for mid-week Bible study for our study "Renewing Our Minds: Biblical Hygiene for Our Thought Lives."
