Thinking About Thinking!
It is never the right time to do
the wrong thing and never wrong time to do the right thing. But what is the
wrong thing or the right thing? As Shakespeare opined, "Things are
neither right nor wrong but thinking makes them so." He is wrong.
Bad thinking does not make things right.
Today we are exposed to many
toxic thoughts that go under the guise of truth but are in fact propaganda
masquerading as truth. Maturity in thinking is not only concerned with what
to think about but how to think about it. We need to learn how to think about
what we think about and how to evaluate and calculate the accuracy of tweets,
blogs, memes, Alexa, Siri and especially the "newspaper"!
As
the biblical book of Proverbs reminds us; As a man thinks so he is.
As
the Apostle Paul reminds us;
"Finally, brethren,
whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure,
whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence
and if anything worthy of praise, let your mind dwell on these things."
(Phil. 4:8)
Let us take every thought
captive to the obedience of Christ. (2 Cor.10:5)
Serving Him with you
Until
He comes for us,
Fred
