  5. Colossians 3:1-10 (NLT) • 1 Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits at God's right hand in the place of honor and power. 2 Let heaven fill your thoughts. Do not think only about things down here on earth.3 For you died when Christ died, and your real life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 And when Christ, who is your real life, is revealed to the whole world, you will share in all his glory.

  6. 5 So put to death the sinful, earthly things lurking within you. Have nothing to do with sexual sin, impurity, lust, and shameful desires. Don't be greedy for the good things of this life, for that is idolatry. 6 God's terrible anger will come upon those who do such things. 7 You used to do them when your life was still part of this world. 8 But now is the time to get rid of anger, rage, malicious behavior, slander, and dirty language. 9 Don't lie to each other, for you have stripped off your old evil nature and all its wicked deeds.

  7. 10 In its place you have clothed yourselves with a brand-new nature that is continually being renewed as you learn more and more about Christ, who created this new nature within you.

  8. The Mind: Thoughts • Memorize PASSAGES. • Choose what we feed our minds. • Connect with others who are also serious about reforming their minds. The Way Forward

  9. The Mind: Feelings • Cannot master feelings head-on. • Do not deny having feelings. • Separate feelings from underlying conditions. • Feelings spread, and can take over the mind. • Addictions – when we seek feelings for their own sake. • Feelings are among Satan’s primary ploys.

  10. The Mind: Feelings • Love: we love someone/something when we promote its good for its own sake. • Joy: pervasive sense of overall well being, even during suffering and loss. • Peace: rest of the will that results from trusting God that things will ultimately turn out well. 3 Godly feelings of a reformed mind:

  11. The Mind: Feelings • Receive love, joy, peace from God and others already living in him. • Come to terms with feelings; give them up to God. • Confer about destructive feelings with a wise Christian friend or counselor. The Way Forward
