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, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’
Keep your minds fixed on things there, not on things here on earth.
So be careful how you live. Don’t live like ignorant people, but like wise people. Make good use of every opportunity you have, because these are evil days.
And because of God’s gracious gift to me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you should. Instead, be modest in your thinking, and judge yourself according to 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.
Happy is anyone who becomes wise—who comes to have understanding.
Do yourself a favor and learn all you can; then remember what you learn and you will prosper.
People learn from one another, just as iron sharpens iron.
It is foolish to ignore what your parents taught you; it is wise to accept their correction.
After all, even fools may be thought wise and intelligent if they stay quiet and keep their mouths shut.
Sensible people will see trouble coming and avoid it, but an unthinking person will walk right into it and regret it later.
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.
The Two House Builders
"So then, anyone who hears these words of mine and obeys them is like a wise man who built his house on rock.
The Wisdom from Above
Are there any of you who are wise and understanding? You are to prove it by your good life, by your good deeds performed with humility and wisdom.
For while I was with you, I made up my mind to forget everything except Jesus Christ and especially his death on the cross.
Ever since God created the world, his invisible qualities, both his eternal power and his divine nature, have been clearly seen; they are perceived in the things that God has made. So those people have no excuse at all!
The wiser you are, the more worries you have; the more you know, the more it hurts.
