Controlling Your Thoughts

The number of thoughts each of us has each day must be pretty phenomenal. Even though we have probably never catalogued or enumerated them, there are hundreds or thousands on a daily basis. God tells us we need to bring each thought into captivity and screen them in obedience to Christ. For all thoughts, if pursued, lead to words spoken, actions taken, and deeds fulfilled.
