\"\"The Apostle Paul wrote that the time before the \u201cEnd of Days\u201d would be \u201cperilous\u201d and full of unrelenting human depravity and lawlessness (2 Tim. 3:1-5). Yeshua warned that apostasy would abound and that the hearts of many would run cold as ice (Matt. 24:12). In light of the raging spiritual war going on all around us, the following needs to be emphatically restated: \u201cThe important thing is to not lose your mind…\u201d<\/p>\n

The mind is the \u201cgateway\u201d to your heart, and it is therefore essential to guard your thinking by immersing yourself in the truth… \u201cNot losing your mind\u201d therefore means being grounded in what is real, and it therefore means understanding your identity and provision as a child of God. \u201cGod has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power and of love, and of a sound mind\u201d \u2013 literally, a \u201cdelivered\u201d mind, \u201chealed\u201d from chaos and despair (2 Tim. 1:7). The Greek word \u201csound mind\u201d (\u03c3\u03c9\u03c6\u03c1\u03bf\u03bd\u03b9\u03c3\u03bc\u1f79\u03c2) comes from a verb meaning \u201cto be made safe,\u201d in the sense of being under restraining influence of the Spirit of God… The closest Hebrew word might be musar, or \u201cmoral discipline.\u201d<\/p>\n

Part of the task of \u201cguarding your mind\u201d is being able to discern between good and evil. \u201cThe fear of the LORD is to hate evil\u201d (Prov. 8:13) and as the prophet cried out, \u201cHate what is wrong, love what is right\u201d (Amos 5:15). We must love the truth and abhor the lie (Psalm 119:163, Zech. 8:19; Prov. 12:22). Tolerating sin in a world ripe for judgment is a tacit form of \u201ccollaboration\u201d with the enemy. Indeed, the only thing regarded as intolerable in the devil\u2019s world is the denial that people have the \u201cliberty\u201d to sin. But the Lord is clear on this point: \u201cWoe to those who call evil good and good evil, and who turn darkness into light and light into darkness, to those who turn bitter into sweet and sweet into bitter. Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and shrewd in their own sight!\u201d (Isa. 5:20-21). It is the truth that sets people free, but this presupposes the ability to discern how we become enslaved to deception. Therefore we are instructed: \u201cYou are to distinguish between the holy and the common, and between the unclean and the clean\u201d (Lev. 10:10).<\/p>\n

Someone who loves you will to help you stay honest with yourself: The truth of God\u2019s moral law is likened to a Father\u2019s moral correction that leads his child to life (Prov. 6:23).<\/p>\n
