Use your mind. Don't waste it. Fill it with the right stuff, and keep it working on the right stuff. Keep out the rubbish. Whatever we deliberately put in our minds, or allow to enter, becomes part of us for ever. If it's worldly rubbish, then we are contaminating and criminally wasting the capacities of the most marvelous computer known, that we have been given for holy and eternal purposes. Keep worldly "entertainment" out of your mind as much as possible: sports, foolishness, fleshly amusements and diversions. Certainly do not deliberately seek such. These things are not "harmless relaxation": they are dangerous, poisonous pollutants of the mind of Christ that we MUST develop. We have tremendous capabilities: few ever begin to put them to use for their sole intended purpose: preparing for eternity with God. We ARE whatever we put in our minds. That becomes US. What do we really WANT to be? Computer men have a saying: "Garbage in, garbage out." That is, nothing that comes out of a computer is better than what's put in. So with the human mind. Christ has a receptacle for the world's garbage, and he'll soon be putting it there.
