Thinking (19)
Human learning is both ornamental and serviceable to a gospel minister, especially for the convincing of those who are outside; for it enables him to beat them at their own weapons, and to cut off Goliath's head with his own sword.
Oh, then be ashamed, Christians, that worldlings are more studious and industrious to make sure of pebbles, than you are to make sure of pearls.
Guard your thoughts, and there will be little fear about your actions.
The way to calm our thoughts is to commit everything to God.
God's punishment to a wicked man is his wicked mind.
Thinking is better than possessing books. Thinking is an exercise of the soul which both develops its powers and educates them.Lectures to my Students
Your mind was made to know and love God.
Do not be so open-minded that your brains fall out.
Doubt is not always a sign that a man is wrong; it may be a sign that he is thinking.
Study hard, for the well is deep, and our brains are shallow.
Another real danger to young men is thoughtlessness and lack of consideration. Lack of thought is one simple reason why thousands of souls are cast away forever. Men will not consider,-will not look forward,-will not look around them,-will not reflect on the end of their present course, and the sure consequences of their present ways,-and awake at last to find they are damned for lack of thinking.
Give yourself unto reading. The man who never reads will never be read; he who never quotes will never be quoted. He who will not use the thoughts of other men's brains, proves that he has no brains of his own. You need to read.
Disregard the study of God, and you sentence yourself to stumble and blunder through life blindfolded, as it were, with no sense of direction and no understanding of what surrounds you. This way you can waste your life and lose your soul.
obsession with method is one of the baleful aspects of modern literary theory, and it has not served society well in promoting the reading or writing of literature.
What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.
Your mind is under constant bombardment. This is not by accident. It is a strategic assault by the forces of evil, in the knowledge that the mind is what John Calvin called the "citadel" to the soul, the pre-eminent part of man set by his Creator to be the control hub for his entire life.Deep Discipleship, 82
You can't confuse childlike faith with childish thinking.
I am not absentminded. It is the presence of mind that makes me unaware of everything else.
