Episode notes
Thought Life Should Have No Vacancy
- The mind is like a guest house where vain thoughts can lodge but should not be allowed to stay.
- Scott Hollingshead uses Thomas Goodwin and Jeremiah 4.14 to argue for a 'no vacancy' policy in your thought life.
Sin Damages The Mind Fundamentally
- Sin deeply affects the mind (noetic effect), leaving it sick, darkened, depraved, corrupted, hardened, blinded, and debased.
- Scott cites Genesis, Jeremiah, Ephesians, Timothy, Corinthians, and Romans to show the pervasive biblical diagnosis.
God Reopens The Mind In Regeneration
- God must open blinded minds by the Spirit so people can behold Christ; regeneration grants a new mind and the mind of Christ.
- Scott references 2 Corinthians 4, Luke 24, 1 John 5, and the new covenant promises to explain this work.
