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.
Sabedoria e discernimento
A sabedoria é melhor que rubis. Quem a encontra, encontra a vida. A mente sábia discerne, planeja e previne erros.
13 Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that obtaineth understanding.
8 He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul; he that keepeth understanding shall find good.
17 Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.
5 A fool despiseth his father's correction; but he that regardeth reproof is prudent.
28 Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise; and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed as a man of understanding.
12 A prudent man seeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the thoughtless pass on, and are punished.
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.
18 For in much wisdom is much vexation; and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.
