Title: Learn to think / Philippians 4:8-9
# Learn to think.. #
"Sow a thought and you will produce an action; sow an action and you will produce a habit,
If you sow a habit, you will produce character; if you sow character, you will produce destiny.”
Changing the world starts with an idea.
Thoughts produce results.
1. We must learn to think.
What sets us apart from animals is our ability to reason.
the logic of mathematics; the ability to reason
People who are good at math are logical and have the ability to reason about the future.
(An analogy.. It was possible to deduce the problem of the credit card company now, but the intellectuals took care of their own interests.
A person with reasoning ability knew how to use a mobile phone. In the future, the era of wireless Internet will come. )
(Pastor is very good at math ^* ..)
Mathematics is the training of thinking, not the ability to calculate.
A person who is late to learn has no intellectual stimulation.
Things that can give intellectual stimulation; reading, sermons, good meetings, travel...
How did the ancestors of faith solve this difficult problem?
How long will you rely on the laying on of hands?
You will have to learn to interpret and solve your own hardships while watching the advancement of faith.
We all have potential.
However, there are cases where there is no ignition system.
You will have to unlock your potential through intellectual stimulation.
Analogy..) The body also develops through stimulation~
stretching; If you keep doing it, the muscles you don't use are stimulated and strengthened. (Pastor, I have a talent for ballet^*)
A good teacher is one who stimulates thought.
The ability to think well is called the ability to interpret.
The Bible stimulates positive thinking.

Parable..) Minerva's owl must be darkened; it means wisdom. (by Hegel)
There is all wisdom as soon as it's over.. (It's important to clean up after it's finished)
But,
Minerva's owl can fly at dawn; a life prepared with morning prayer!
Those who pray and hold on to the Word have the wisdom of an old man.
Preaching examines how to live and learns to think.
`You must sow good thoughts.. (Philippians 4:8 In the end..the most important thing, think..if you want the future to be good..)
Jeremiah 6:9 ) He said that calamity is the result of thinking!!
If you think of ruin, you will perish, and if you think of blessing, blessing will come.
Ex) The consciousness of experiencing colonialism..*dishonesty,*laziness is etched..(At that time, it was patriotism)

(After all, I can't throw it away..
point) God's people must stand firmly before God with the consciousness of the Word.
Analogy..) University of Chicago ..Read 100 classics and the university changes!!
The future will change only when good thoughts are planted with the Word and classics.
