Welcome to Every Thought Captive. I’m Phil Steiger, pastor at Quail Lake Community Church.
Did you know that the scientific classification for humans, homo sapiens, means “thinking beings”? This is not only a scientific classification, but for the Christian, it is a spiritual reality as well. As we were made in the image of God, we were given minds and the ability to think and reason. God himself says through Isaiah, “Come, let us reason together.”
In fact, the use of our minds in worship is something that was important to Christ and Paul as well. Christ sums up the Law by saying we should love God with all our minds. And Paul, while telling us how to grow in our relationship with Christ, says we need to be careful about how our minds are being formed. It is all too possible to be conformed to this world without even working on it. Having a mind that is formed in the image of Christ, however, will require effort. But don’t worry, God will reward that kind of work.
