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 replied, "‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’
Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth.
Living by the Spirit’s Power
So be careful how you live. Don’t live like fools, but like those who are wise. Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days.
Because of the privilege and authority God has given me, I give each of you this warning: Don’t think you are better than you really are. Be honest in your evaluation of yourselves, measuring yourselves by the faith God has given us.
Sabedoria e discernimento
A sabedoria é melhor que rubis. Quem a encontra, encontra a vida. A mente sábia discerne, planeja e previne erros.
Joyful is the person who finds wisdom,
the one who gains understanding.
To acquire wisdom is to love yourself;
people who cherish understanding will prosper.
As iron sharpens iron,
so a friend sharpens a friend.
Only a fool despises a parent’s discipline;
whoever learns from correction is wise.
Even fools are thought wise when they keep silent;
with their mouths shut, they seem intelligent.
A prudent person foresees danger and takes precautions.
The simpleton goes blindly on and suffers the consequences.
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.
Building on a Solid Foundation
"Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock.
True Wisdom Comes from God
If you are wise and understand God’s ways, prove it by living an honorable life, doing good works with the humility that comes from wisdom.
For I decided that while I was with you I would forget everything except Jesus Christ, the one who was crucified.
For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God.
The greater my wisdom, the greater my grief.
To increase knowledge only increases sorrow.
