What goes in must come out, the scripture says, "you must remember, beloved, the predictions of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ. They said to you, "In the last time there will be scoffers, following their own ungodly passions." It is these who caused divisions, wordly people, Devoid of the Spirit. But you, beloved, building yourselves up in the most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life." (Jude 1:17-21) What marks a world without Christ? Divisions, worldliness devoid of the spirit. What marks a world with Christ? Faith, prayer, mercy, and ultimately eternal life. Yet we have a problem. Many Christians today seem to be marked more by an ungodly world, rather than keeping themselves in the love of God. Do you need proof? Take a look at your social media feed. Need I say more? Jesus said that "out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks." (Matthew 12:34) Whatever it is that we fill our minds with works its way into the heart and it comes out of us like a fountain. Jude's brother James also noted this when he said, "From the same mouth come both blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so." (James 3:10) What is the solution to fixing a life of division, worldliness and one devoid of the spirit? Really, it's rather simple. It's to fill our minds with the things of our faith. Keep yourselves in the love of God. If we find that what comes out of us is disapproving to the Lord, then it is because we are not focused on the things that give God pleasure. Jude referred to this as building yourselves up in your most holy faith. Consider this as a memory verse. "Whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable. If there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you." (Phil 4:8-9) Consider this point of application. The greatest way to change your heart and mind from ungodly to godly things is to follow this advice from the Apostle Paul to practice these things about taking control of our thoughts.
