Welcome to Every Thought Captive, I’m Phil Steiger, pastor at Quail Lake Community Church.
The things I pay attention to have a bearing on the shape of my soul. Paul tells us as much in Philippians 4:8 when he says we should think about the things that are true, honorable, just, excellent, and so on.Contrast Paul’s list with your typical night on TV. The kinds of images and ideas presented there sell to a broad and bored audience-very little of it is honorable, praiseworthy, or even true. Dwelling on these things does not do much good for our souls. But Paul’s list does. When I focus myself on Paul’s list I shape my soul to the kinds of things that come from God.
Church is a chance to turn your attention toward the One who can give life and health to your soul. If you haven’t been to church in a while, we at Quail Lake encourage you to make your way to church and encounter Christ, and, obviously, we would love to see you.
