A study from Vince Baker Ministries
How can Christians use their imagination wisely?
Paul calls the Philippians to think about what is true, just, and worthy of praise, then to put what they learned into practice. Second Corinthians speaks of bringing thoughts into obedience to Christ. Use both passages when judging what you are picturing and what that picture leads you to do.
How Your Inner Picture Affects Your Choices
This individual quote asks how your picture of yourself sets limits on action. Bring one recurring assumption into conversation with Scripture and with someone who knows you well. Choose a small step that tests the assumption through faithful practice.
Put one quote into practice
Choose a clear Biblical instruction and picture a realistic way to carry it out. Describe the specific person, action, and setting. If a thought makes you fear a future event, write down what is known and use prayer and counsel to decide what is yours to act on.
