Healthy Thinking, How To...

Our thinking  is greatly influenced by our underlying beliefs.  We have a choice.  We can either believe the lies taught by the world (and the devil ), or believe the truths taught in the Bible, and as manifested in the perfect life of Jesus Christ.

As Christians, God expects us to bring our thinking  into line with the truth  (See Lesson 29).  He pays close attention to our thinking .  We cannot hide our thoughts from God.

Importantly, God has provided us with free will, and the tools and means by which we can begin to change our thought life: by dili­gently studying the truth  as revealed in the Holy Bible;  by focus­ing our thoughts on the life and teachings of Jesus; and by pray­ing for guidance  from the Holy Spirit  (the Spirit of truth ).  In the end, our thinking  is transformed in remarkable and wonder­ful ways, as we become more and more Christ-like. - Dr. Brian Campbell. Here's a very Helpful Book by Dr. Campbell
