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.
Yɨɨsu akamʉgarukirya, "‘Ʉmʉsɨɨgɨ Ʉmʉkʉrʉ Mungu waazʉ kumwʉyʉ gwazʉ gwʉsi, kokoro yaazʉ yʉʉsi na kʉmangʼɨɨni gaazʉ gʉʉsi.’
Mwiseege amangʼana ganʉ gari mwisaarʉ, mutiiseega ganʉ garɨ kʉʉsɨ,
Nangʉ mwiyangarɨrɨ chɨmbu mukwikara, mutiikara ncha abhageege nawe mwikarɨ ncha bhu ubhwʉbhʉʉri. Mʉtarimirya ribhaga, kʉ kʉbha ribhaga rɨnʉ ni-rya amabhɨ.
Nangʉ, Kiriisitʉ angʼɨɨrɨ ʉrʉbhangʉ nɨbhɨ umutumwa waazɨ. Kʉgayo, nɨrabhʉʉrɨra imwʉsibhu, mutiirora kʉbha moreenderwa kʉkɨra chɨmbu mʉrɨ, nawe mʉbhɨ nu ubhwʉbhʉʉri. Mungu ahɨɨrɨ abhaatʉ bhʉʉsi ekerengo chu ubhwisirirya bhwabhʉ.
Sabedoria e discernimento
A sabedoria é melhor que rubis. Quem a encontra, encontra a vida. A mente sábia discerne, planeja e previne erros.
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.

"Mmbe, ʉmʉʉtʉ wʉwʉʉsi wʉnʉ akwigwa amangʼana gaanɨ na kʉgakora, aangɨ ʉmʉʉtʉ wa amangʼɨɨni wʉnʉ ʉmbakirɨ inyumba yaazɨ kwitarɨ.
Wɨɨgɨ na kokora ubhwʉbhʉʉri bhwa Mungu
Nɨ-wɨɨwɨ kʉbhaniimwɨ, wʉnʉ ana amangʼɨɨni nu ubhwʉbhʉʉri? Mmbe, erekenʼye okomenya kwazɨ nu ubhwʉbhʉʉri bhwazɨ ko okokora amahocha amazʉmu, kʉbhʉnyʉʉhu bhʉnʉ bhukurwa kubhwʉbhʉʉri.
