The Science of Life and Tea

The enemy will put thoughts into our head the fact that we have these thoughts doesn't make it a sin because we can't control what the devil puts in our heads. BUT what we CAN control is our meditation on them.

Take for instance the devil puts a lustful thought into my head "that guy has a nice butt why don't you touch it" the fact that you had that thought isn't a sin but if you go touch his butt it IS a sin. ALSO-if you keep going with that thought if you don't STOP IT AT IT'S ROOT-you begin to fantasize about other things then you are sinning.

To put it simpler: The devil wants us to create roads, he wants us to take his evil thought and create a journey, a journey that leads to destruction. This is why it's so important for us to have pure and holy thoughts. God knows the most detailed parts of our lives, even our THOUGHTS.

Psalm 94:11 (NIV)
The LORD knows the thoughts of man;
he knows that they are futile.

Psalm 19:14 (NIV)
May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
be pleasing in your sight,
O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.

So take every thought captive and bring into submission to the mind of Christ (which we have as believers) 2 Corinthians 10:5.
