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.
37 Jesus said to him,"‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’
2 Keep your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on the earth.
15 So, then, be careful how you live. Do not be unwise but wise,16 making the best use of time because the days are evil.
3 For by the grace given to me I ask every one of you not to think of yourself more highly than you should think, rather to think of yourself with sober judgment on the measure of faith that God has assigned each of you.
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.
24 "Therefore, everyone who hears these words of mine and obeys them is like a wise man who built his house on a rock.
13 Who among you is wise and understanding? Let him show by his good life that his works are done in humility born of wisdom.
2 For while I was with you I resolved to know nothing except Jesus Christ and him crucified.
20 For since the creation of the world his invisible attributes—his eternal power and divine nature—have been understood and observed by what he made, so that people are without excuse.
