How to Change Your Mind

Joe Carter says there are essentially three types of reactions to the suggestions in his post How to Change Your Mind:

1. Most will snicker at the crazy claims
2. A few will be intrigued, but will not implement
3. A tiny minority will recognize the simplicity and genius, and apply it.

After reading this article on the Gospel Coalition, I have yet to apply it fully. Apply what? Well you ought to read the post, but here it is:

1. Choose a book of the Bible.
2. Read it in its entirety.
3. Repeat step #2 twenty times.
4. Repeat this process for all books of the Bible.

This advice comes from James M. Gray (1851-1935). It is so encouraging to hear the wisdom of dead men. Good and simple wisdom. Go read what Mr. Gray says in the post.

Sometimes I find myself not knowing how to spend my time. And of course Facebook is always ready to help me in that problem.

But seriously, let's stop acting on our silly needs for entertainment, and take the hours we have to find a quiet place and read, and reread, and reread, and let God's Holy Spirit sanctify our hearts and minds, and quite likely also incline our spirit to prayers of thanksgiving, confession, and intercession.
