From yesterday's sermon:

The reaction that the Apostle Paul had when he was on the damascus road is one worth emulating. When Paul received his sight he received spiritually an insight into the person of Jesus Christ and the whole of his life and preaching was nothing but Jesus Christ.

“I determined not to know anything among you, save Jesus Christ, and Him crucified.”

No attraction ever held the mind and soul of Paul except the face of Jesus Christ.

Oswald Chambers in “My utmost for His highest” says: “we have to learn to maintain an unimpaired state of character up to the last notch revealed in the vision of Jesus Christ.

The abiding characteristic of an efficient spiritual man is the interpretation of who the Lord Jesus Christ is, and the communicating of that to others. I want an efficiency that helps me be a man after God’s own heart.

An inventory of the things that facinate us will tell if we are effectively spiritual or not.

The human brain is one of the greatest marvels of God’s creation
Weighs about 3 pounds
Capable of receiving and storing trillions of separate bits of information

The Bible has much to say about our thought and minds:


If any of the world’s garbage has crept in, we can reprogram our minds by taking in the pure Word of God.

Rob Cunningham wrote: “Wandering thought can be captured, Unworthy thoughts can be arrested. We can train our minds to think thoughts that please our Lord.

Use the mind. ( Grandma told me: “use your head for something more than a hat rack” )
A boy once stated : “Thinking is when your mouth stays shut and your head keeps talking to itself”

Ephesians 4:14 Then we will no longer be immature like children. We won't be tossed and blown about by every wind of new teaching. We will not be influenced when people try to trick us with lies so clever they sound like the truth.

Don't let the world brainwash you.

Romans 8:6 "So letting your sinful nature control your mind leads to death. But letting the Spirit control your mind leads to life and peace."
