Yes! You are in! There's a battle around your mind. Doubt me? Lots of companies tracking, monitoring and feeding you. You talk about cruised and hey, there's a pop ad for a cruise line. Coincidence? I think not. How do we counter that? Stick around, we'll tackle it, here you go...
Thanks again for clicking in. For podcasts also can shape minds. That's a good test. Look at your podcast line up. How many strengthen you? Encourage your heart? On the flip, how many whip you up? Get you agitated? Hint: news will most likely agitate. So how about some Good News?
What % of your time is in the Good News? The Word? I bet you and I have room for improvement. As my Brother John Paul of the MonDudes says, "You got to get in the Word, man!" He's right, Pretty simple truth.
So let me ask in a different way, what % of your time is in the Word vs. Ways of the World? You know the difference. The Word has 66 books. Confession, I mainly leverage the screen version, YouVersion Bible App. More convenient. My phone is almost always with me. So instead of hitting the news app or social media apps first. The Word gets first. Ideally, it gets more screen time too.
All that leading to this verse that my TuesDudesPM is tackling and marinating in...
1 And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him. 2 Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.
