In his book Your
Mind Matters, theologian John Stott affirms, “Opinions are stronger than
armies.” Philippians 4:8 reveals a great weapon
in the Christ-follower’s fight for joy: our thoughts, “Finally,
brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever
things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely,
whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be
any praise, think on these things” (KJV, emphasis added).
According to the following Scriptures, to what are
believers to focus their thoughts?
Deuteronomy 6:6-7--
Joshua 1:8--
Psalm 1:1-2; 107:43; 119:11--
1 Samuel 12:24--
Romans 12:1-2; 13:14--
Colossians 3:2-4--
1 Peter 1:13-14; 4:1--
2 Peter 3:1-2--
What instruction, caution or warning do the
following Scriptures give regarding our thoughts?
Isaiah
55:8-9; Psalm 92:5; 1 Corinthians 1:18-21--
2 Corinthians 10:5; Colossians 2:8--
Application
