Yesterday, in our sermon series Walk the Line, we talked about replacing behaviors that take our minds where they need not go. In fact, we said that biblical thinking leads to biblical living. Do you and I want to walk the line when it comes to our minds? Do we long to honor God with the things we allow in our minds?
Philippians 4:7-8 says, “And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.”
As I told you, the message had a great impact on me as I was writing the sermon last week and has already caused me to make changes in the television programs I watch. This week, I am considering what other behaviors I need to replace in order to surrender my thinking to the Lordship of Jesus even more in 2011. What about you? What are some of the behaviors you need to replace? Is it movies, music, people, places, video games, etc.? Simply put, trash in, trash out!
Be biblical. Stay faithful,
Greg Edens
