A Pure Mind
Titus 1:15
3)“Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.”
“Unto the pure all things are pure” (Titus 1:15) concerns false teaching about dietary laws (1 Tim. 4:2-5). It does not mean that a “pure mind” remains pure after beholding what is unpure. When God’s truth enlightens your conscience, you will know right from wrong and will know to avoid that which is evil.
You see, a defiled conscience is like a dirty window: it hinders the light from entering in. “The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light (Matt.6:22). If we keep our eyes on the word of God, and the God of the word, it will keep our heart and minds pure! So, what must we do? We must try to focus on things that will bring Glory to God. We should never allow the unpure to direct the path we follow.
Teresa and I hope all our mothers have a wonderful and blessed Mother’s Day!
Yours in Christ,
Pastor Jeff
