A MIND FOR GOD

Sunday, December 30, 2007

James Emery White, President of Gordon-Conwell theological seminary, said, “Never before have the habits of the mind mattered more.” Billy Graham said, “I’ve preached too much, and studied too little.”

With the onslaught of popular culture—television, the Internet and movies—we are faced with a great challenge to continue to develop our minds rather than simply being entertained. God wants us to think and act from a thoroughly biblical perspective. We need to adopt a Christian worldview that shapes our thinking about the everyday world, in every situation.

Bertrand Russell said, “Most Christians would rather die than think; in fact they do.” We must change this. In a few minutes I will be sitting at the feet of a Bible expositor. He will open the Bible and present a clear, concise, truthful message that everyone can understand. It will not be “fluff”. It will be a deep, serious study of God’s Word. AndIt will make us think. And hopefully it will cause us to act!
