In our society, we spend a lot of time and money taking care of our bodies. The Apostle Paul wants us to give as much consideration to our minds as we do to our bodies. Jesus could have come to this earth as a personal trainer to help us figure out how to care for our bodies, but he didn’t. Jesus came primarily as a teacher. Paul warns us in Titus 2:1-15 that unless we are being taught consistently about how to live wisely we will drift into foolish thinking and destructive behavior. Therefore we need to take responsibility for our minds and allow them to be formed consistently by biblical teaching.

NEXT STEPS

I will take responsibility for having my mind formed by biblical teaching.

I will privately study and reflect on God’s Word regularly.

I will guard myself against the doctrine of our world.

I will commit to regularly placing myself under the teaching of God’s word.

I will learn from older men and women who bring so much wisdom to our church.
