Top Highlights
“Surrendering your mind to Christ does mean to choose Jesus as your mentor or teacher, to trust his wisdom as a guide for your life. It means to trust that his way of understanding and making sense of the world is true, accurate, and sufficient. If you choose to believe what Jesus believes, to order your life according to the principles he teaches, and to offer your life in his service, then you are surrendering your mind to Jesus.” (Pages 30–31)
“What we think about is what we become. Unfortunately, many of us disregard this truth and carelessly ingest unhealthy content into our minds that inevitably produces a myriad of unhealthy thoughts, attitudes, and eventually, behaviors.” (Page 32)
“Philippians 4:8: ‘Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.” (Page 35)
“Yet the mind left untended becomes a fertile breeding ground for all kinds of destructive or unproductive thinking which almost always results in destructive or unproductive behavior.” (Page 12)
