Learning to Better Discipline Your Mind

January 9, 2018

Characteristic of the most effective Public Servants is a disciplined mind.

How do godly people think? What should be going on in your mind? What habits should be forming in the maintenance of our minds? That organ inside your skull is an incredible asset given to us by our Maker; it stands to reason that we should be good stewards of it.

How one ought to care for and manage his mind is in essence the subject of this passage and this week’s study.

“The heart is more deceitful than all else, and is desperately sick; who can understand it?” (Jeremiah 17:9). This and many other passages teach that man is fallen and sinful.  A biblically-accurate, informed understanding of what the Scripture says about sin will help you in a myriad of ways! It is foundational as to how you view the world, and is the proper remedy to national and international problems. This Bible study is designed to help you with greater clarity on this matter: one must begin with, and hold to this worldview conviction in order to govern with wisdom in ways pleasing to God...

The study of epistemology uncovers what an individual relies on and what informs his thinking as to what’s right and wrong. Are his presuppositions valid? As we get older we subconsciously rely on our ingrained epistemological habits; we assume their validity. But again, are they right? Wise are the individuals who can discern not only their own, but another’s epistemological presuppositions when analyzing something. Wise is the citizen who can discern a candidate’s epistemological presuppositions before casting his or her ballot. Heightening your awareness and abilities regarding “starting points” is what this Bible study is all about.

Many legislator and governing authorities simply go to church where their family has always gone. But as illustrated in the first chapters of the Book of Revelation, churches change — and so do pastors. This study — How to Choose a Good Pastor — will aid you in discernment when it comes to choosing a good, biblically-based spiritual coach for life.

Many people believe the Bible is unclear on the issue of capital punishment — as if you could substantiate either viewpoint, believing one could justify either position. Is such the case? What follows is a short primer on the Christian worldview of capital punishment.

In Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount He states, “You are the salt of the earth . . . You are the light of the world.” Often, well-meaning believers invoke this passage as a means of encouragement and prodding others to step up to the plate and affect the world. In this study, I desire to provide you with a greater understanding of the Greek verb that Jesus uses: “You are.” It is not an imperative command; it is an indicative verb. This is a very important and necessary distinction to make as we seek to better understand what the Bible means by what it says. Such precision leads to proper, God-glorifying application to one’s life.

In this week's written study I would like to exhaust the Book of Proverbs regarding everything Proverbs mentions about choosing counselors in your life. What follows is all that Solomon taught Rehoboam, his son, about this subject in preparation for him to become the next governing leader of Israel. Solomon has much to say about a political leader selecting confidants.

One of the huge problems of an increasingly secularized American government is the belief that civil government is the trunk of the tree in society and culture. Scripture portrays a very different view: God is the trunk of the tree, and government is but one of its five branches...
