Does the Bible instruct follower’s of Christ, surrounding how to specifically occupy our thought lives?”

The answer to the above question is a resounding, “Yes!”

The Apostle Paul says in Philippians 4:8,

“Finally, believers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable and worthy of respect, whatever is right and confirmed by God’s word, whatever is pure and wholesome, whatever is lovely and brings peace, whatever is admirable and of good repute; if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think continually on these things.”

Do you think it might be possible that we’re being desensitized by our cultural norms to doing the complete opposite of what God’s Word tells us to do?

If we were to take a daily inventory of how much mindless and counterproductive time we spend on our screens every day (phone, computer, social media, TV, etc.) … how would that align with what the Lord has clearly prescribed for how He wants us to discipline our thought life?

Please know that whatever convictions you may be feeling in this moment, are amplified in me even as I’m making this post!

Because the centering of our minds is such an integral and consequential aspect of how well we walk out our faith while living in this broken world … I will be diving deeper into Paul’s “Thought list” over my next few posts for all of us to ponder, consider, and to meditate on.
