Mente
A mente é campo de batalha espiritual. A Bíblia nos chama a renovar o entendimento, pensar com sabedoria e buscar a mente de Cristo em todas as áreas da vida.
Amar a Deus com a mente
O maior mandamento inclui amar a Deus com toda a mente. A vida intelectual deve ser consagrada ao Senhor.
Jesus answered:
Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind.
Think about what is up there, not about what is here on earth.
Act like people with good sense and not like fools. These are evil times, so make every minute count.
I realize God has treated me with undeserved grace, and so I tell each of you not to think you are better than you really are. Use good sense and measure yourself by the amount of faith that God has given you.
Sabedoria e discernimento
A sabedoria é melhor que rubis. Quem a encontra, encontra a vida. A mente sábia discerne, planeja e previne erros.
God blesses everyone
who has wisdom
and common sense.
Do yourself a favor
by having good sense—
you will be glad you did.
Just as iron sharpens iron,
friends sharpen the minds
of each other.
Don’t be a fool
and disobey your parents.
Be smart! Accept correction.
Even fools seem smart
when they are quiet.
Be cautious and hide
when you see danger—
don’t be stupid and walk
right into trouble.
Construir sobre a rocha
Quem ouve as palavras de Jesus e as pratica é como o sábio que edificou sobre a rocha firme e inabalável.
Anyone who hears and obeys these teachings of mine is like a wise person who built a house on solid rock.
Are any of you wise or sensible? Then show it by living right and by being humble and wise in everything you do.
In fact, while I was with you, I made up my mind to speak only about Jesus Christ, who had been nailed to a cross.
God’s eternal power and character cannot be seen. But from the beginning of creation, God has shown what these are like by all he has made. That’s why those people don’t have any excuse.
The more you know,
the more you hurt;
the more you understand,
the more you suffer.
