Take your thoughts captive

“I've over-educated myself in all the things I shouldn't have known at all” --Noel Coward

Translation: Don't study evil. Study God's Word in order to enhance your relationship with Him.

We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. 2 Corinthians 10:5 NIV

Finally, brothers and sisters, 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. Philippians 4:8 NIV

Are feelings most important in godly love?

“Love is never primarily defined in the Bible as a feeling. At its foundation love is at least a commitment and a promise.” --Tim Keller

Will doctrinal correctness save you?

Believing correct doctrines, important as they are, won't save you . Satan knows correct doctrines. What saves you is trusting Jesus to empower you to live your life as Jesus would live it if He were you - He lives in you. Gal. 2:20 - I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ lives in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live in [and by] the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. Adapted by Dave Harris from Dallas Willard
