THE CHRISTIAN MIND


A Christian's fast-paced American life and culture gives him/her little uninterrupted time to think. One way to become a better thinking Christian is to study God's Word -- to know His thoughts and perspective.
2 Timothy 3:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

This beautiful song says it best.
To receive when others reject
To treat each one with true respect
To shield when others throw stones
To be with one who is all alone
To think and choose to see the very best
To live like this is nothing less than to possess . . . the mind of Christ

To build up when others tear down,
To seek the lost until they're found
To give grace where its needed most,
Rejecting pride when others boast
To sacrifice my all without regret
To live like this is nothing less than to possess . . .

The mind of Christ, my highest goal
The Lord's delight, the desire of my soul
The Father's heart will always guide my life
If I will have in me the mind of Christ
