Synopsis "THINK ABOUT IT: Changing Your Thoughts, Practicing the Truth, and Living in God’s Peace"
What have you been thinking about? Your thoughts influence your emotions, attitudes, choices, relationships, and spiritual direction. A thought can feel convincing without being true, and a lie repeated long enough can become a stronghold that affects every area of life. In Think About It: Changing Your Thoughts, Practicing the Truth, and Living in God’s Peace, Pastor John E. Miller presents a practical biblical approach to renewing the mind based on Philippians 4:8–9 and 2 Corinthians 10:4–5. This book will help you: • Recognize thoughts rooted in fear, assumption, exaggeration, and deception • Capture destructive thoughts and teach them to obey Christ • Apply the memorable T.H.I.N.K. Thought Test • Examine your thinking through God’s Eight-Point Thought Filter • Replace lies with Scripture, worry with prayer, complaint with gratitude, and despair with worship • Address grief, regret, disappointment, and memories that repeatedly return • Remember God’s past faithfulness during present uncertainty • Put biblical truth into daily practice • Live with greater awareness of the presence of the God of peace The T.H.I.N.K. Thought Test will teach you to: T — Test the thought H — Hold it against God’s Word I — Identify its influence N — Notice its fruit K — Keep what honors Christ You cannot always prevent a troubling thought from entering your mind, but through Christ, you can decide whether it receives your attention, agreement, and authority. This book also includes thirty days of Scripture affirmations to help you renew your mind and develop healthier, Christ-centered patterns of thinking. Every thought that enters your mind does not deserve a seat at your table. Think about what you are thinking about—and let God’s truth decide what gets to stay.
