Spirit Of The Mind!
"And be renewed in
the spirit of your mind."
Ephesians 4: 23
We need the Truth to refresh our thoughts and give us
a basis for sound thinking, mental health, and personal
transformation. When we believe Truth, we’re grounded
in a biblical worldview.
Jeremiah Johnston wrote, “Faith and mind are not at odds;
faith is not believing nonsense, faith is not embracing the
unreasonable, illogical things. In short, faith is not stupid.
Some people seem to have faith in faith (as Dawkins and other
atheists have in fact pointed out). Faith is intelligent; it is educated;
it's learned; it's hungry for understanding. Healthy faith is a seeking
faith. Healthy faith is not satisfied to be ignorant, or naïve, to
remain
in the dark, or to
pass on misinformation.”
God in His wonder and glory gave us the ability
to think and reason. We’re to love Him with all
our minds.
Sadly, at times we use those gifts for misguided purposes.
But if we stop and ponder our life in the light of our Creator,
that’s a journey worth taking.
"One of the most dangerous places to be is
when we don’t seek the truth. The easiest
way to eliminate confusion is to know the
truth."
Jeremiah Johnston
