FLOYD ROGERS
The way a person thinks shapes the direction of their life. The mind acts like a guide, a warning light, and a decision-maker all at once. Every choice made and every action taken comes from thoughts formed in the heart and mind. Because of this, each person is responsible for what they allow themselves to think about.
God holds His people accountable for both their thoughts and the way those thoughts lead them to live. It is important to protect the mind by being careful about what is seen, heard, and accepted. Not everything the world offers is suitable for those who belong to God.
Since God’s Spirit lives within believers and Jesus is part of their lives, worldly ways and influences no longer fit with who they are. Believers are called to a different, higher standard of thinking and living.
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.
Romans 12:2
