The Mind Matters


Apart from saturating one’s mind with the persons and works of God, how does one expect to live his life in accordance with who God is and what he has done for us in Christ? Certainly one with less understanding can be more sanctified than another with more, but how is grace bestowed an excuse for theological complacency?

  1. To quote a contemporary "theologian" of the masses (Jewel):

    "Follow your heart
    Your intuition
    It will lead you in the right direction
    Let go of your mind
    Your Intuition
    Is easy to find
    Just follow your heart baby"

  2. "Turn off your mind, relax and float down stream

    It is not dying, it is not dying

    Lay down all thoughts, surrender to the void
    It is shining, it is shining

    Yet you may see the meaning of within
    It is being, it is being

    Love is all and love is everyone
    It is knowing, it is knowing

    And ignorance and hate mourn the dead
    It is believing, it is believing

    But listen to the colour of your dreams
    It is not leaving, it is not leaving"


    John Lennon

    Maybe a more important question;Who's writing of theology is saturating one's mind and soul?

    Someone can take that a couple of ways. Is there no good theology in your opinion?

    Wow...what a loaded question...I'll let Marty say something..." I have no pleasure in any man who despises music. It is no invention of ours:It is a gift of God. I place it next to theology. Satan hates music: he knows how it drives the evil spirit out of us. "-Martin Luther
