HOW NOW THINKETH THOU?

HOW NOW THINKETH THOU?

Thursday, August 21, 2014

 

Romans [All verses today from MKJV] 12:1-2 I beseech you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, pleasing to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, in order to prove by you what is that good and pleasing and perfect will of God.

 

  Once again I stand accused, and definitely guilty, of repeating the need for God’s people to think differently than those whom know Him not. VIEWING ROBIN WILLIAMS being one recent DT on the theme.

  Be warned that I will not cease until no longer hearing worldly conversation contrary to godly thinking garnered from God’s Word. Just my commonly writing and saying “God’s Word” instead of “Bible” is aimed toward revising thinking.

  Of late we again hear the “gun violence” drumbeat of discussions on causes and solutions far from the real underlying cause. This non-biblical thinking including more jobs, improved education, better housing, more police, more community policing, “If all law-abiding citizens were armed gun violence could be eliminated!”, more summer programs, and such that may or has made a social difference, but still does nothing to address the root cause:

 

Psalm 10:3 For the wicked boasts of his heart's desire, and blesses the covetous whom Jehovah despises.

Psalm 36:1 To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David, the servant of Jehovah. The oracle utters transgression to the wicked within my heart. There is no fear of God before his eyes.

Jeremiah 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; who can know it?

James 4:1-2 From where do wars and fightings among you come? Is it not from this, from your lusts which war in your members? You desire, and do not have. You murder, and are jealous, and cannot obtain. You fight and war, yet you have not because you ask not.

 

  How now thinketh thou?
