Thinking Biblically, Part 1

Thinking is hard work. Perhaps that’s why so few people engage in it. Precise, perceptive thinking doesn’t come to the lazy; it only comes to those with mental determination and discipline. But in a society driven more by emotion than God’s wisdom, how can we discern the truth? Thinking must begin in the mind, and the mind must be squared with a straight and true standard.

Thinking Biblically, Part 2

It’s impossible to overstate the power of the mind. Our mind determines our attitudes, our perspective, and our decisions. When we view life from a biblical perspective, we see that no plumb line is as sure and exacting as the Bible. Those who take up the challenge to do the hard work of thinking biblically will discover that it can make all the difference in the world.

Thinking Biblically, Part 3

According to the Bible, right living begins with right thinking. This wisdom comes from Romans 12:2, where Paul wrote, Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Today Chuck Swindoll looks at a story about a young king who revered Gods Word as the final authority.
