A Mind on Fire 1

Welcome to Every Thought Captive. I’m Phil Steiger.

Christ was once asked what the greatest commandment was. He responded that all the law and the prophets are summarized in two commandments—one of which included the directive to love God with all our minds. We are often quick to agree that we can love God with all our feelings during worship service, but we don’t always consider what it means to love God with all our minds.

First of all, a mind given to God is one that is ready to be all that it can be for God. God is not calling us all to be geniuses or nobodies—he is calling us to use the minds he gave us to be effective disciples. Each one of us has the ability to apply our minds to God and to life around us and become more effective as salt and light. Minds on fire for God change things. When our minds come alive in the light of God, we see him and our world more clearly.
