Take Every Thought Captive - Ep.188 - Against All Opposition - Reasoning As A Christian Should
The Christian is commanded to take every thought to obey Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5). It's not just in the realm of morality or on Sundays. It doesn't involve just the personal thoughts or the public actions. Every thought is to be conformed to the sovereignty of God. Even our apologetics? Even our starting points for how we view facts? Every. Thought.
Of course, this is easier said than done and even the Apostle Paul knew that. It's why it's called a sanctification process and not a moment. How we interact with the brute facts of this world and those messages that entice us away from God's path are to be responded in a biblical way. We are to be corrected by the Word of God especially if we find ourselves to have a wrong interpretation of God's Word. We are called to live rightly by democratic rule. God is a monarchy and we are called to serve the King as sons and daughters.
As we are demolishing arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, let us always seek to obey Christ.
