11.17.20 思想的戰場 Battlefield of the Mind

羅馬書 12:² 不要效法這個世界，只要心意更新而變化，叫你們察驗何為　神的善良、純全、可喜悅的旨意。

Romans 12:² Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

“這些不信的人被這世界的神弄瞎了心眼 blinded the minds……”（哥林多前書4：4），很不幸許多基督徒，特別是我們下一代，由於教育，媒體和娛樂而被灌輸而被弄瞎了心眼。 世界正以每日24小時每週七天日夜不停的轟炸我們，這是在迫使我們效法它。 今天的戰場是思想的戰場。 這就是為什麼保羅提醒我們要因心意更新而改變 (renew our mind)。 我們的思想只能通過上帝的聖言和聖靈得到更新，而不能通過社交媒體得到更新。 因此，讓我們每天“拾起並閱讀”上帝的聖言，以便我們可以“察驗何為　神的善良、純全、可喜悅的旨意！”

“The god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers…” (2 Corinthians 4:4) unfortunately, many Christians, especially those in our next generation, have been blinded by indoctrination through education, media, and entertainment. We are bombarded 24 by 7 by the world which is trying to force us to conform to it. Today’s battle is a battle of the mind. That is why Paul reminds us to be transformed by the renewal of our minds. Our minds can only be spiritually renewed by the Word of God and the Holy Spirit, not by social media. So let us “pick up and read” the Word of God everyday so that we can discern “what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect!”
