Get your thinking straight by thinking on truth
To think on truth, guided by Biblical principles, involves a series of intentional steps rooted in Scripture. Aligning your thoughts with God's truth transforms the mind and the individual.
Think about truth today. What does it mean to think about truth. Think on things that are true.
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.
Philippians 4:8
Fill your mind with the Word of God.
Thy word have I hid in mine heart, That I might not sin against thee. Psalm 119:11
Read, memorize, meditate and study the Scripture. Think about God’s truth all day long and whatever you are doing.
Reading helps you see the width, the breadth of the Word of God
Memorizing helps you internalize the Word to be able to meditate and think on it later
Meditating or thinking and reflecting will help you apply the truth
Studying will help fully integrate the Scripture into every area of your life.
Practice regular mind renewal
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Romans 12:2.
Renewing our mind means surrendering to the work of the Holy Spirit. We must acknowledge of our need of understanding our need.
What thought patterns need with God honoring righteous ones.
Apply Biblical principles to every area of life, decisions, desires, relationships, and responses.
Take captive every thought
Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 2 Corinthians 10:5.
Actively challenge and reject thoughts that contradict God’s truth, bringing them into obedience to Christ.
Doubting God’s promises
Fear and worry
Sinful desires
Self condemnation and feeling worthless
Doubting God’s love and forgiveness towards you
Replace the lie with the truth

The second World Evangelism Podcast: Heeding the Call of Global Evangelism Through History
The echoes of Abram's journey still resound today, as we continue to heed the call to evangelize nations. In this episode, we reflect on the enduring legacy that began with a man called to be a blessing to all nations, and how this has shaped our global mission to spread the transformative love of Jesus Christ.
We trace the biblical foundation of world evangelism, rooted in the universal love of God. Our exploration takes us to Genesis 12, where God calls Abram to be a blessing, illustrating that the Jewish nation was chosen not to claim superiority but to spread God's message. The Scriptures, the church, and the Messiah—all given through the Jewish people—laid the groundwork for a mission transcending all boundaries.
