Question for today: Do we stimulate wholesome thinking to others?
The Day of the Lord Is Coming
1 This is my second letter to you, dear friends, and in both of them I have tried to stimulate your wholesome thinking and refresh your memory. 2 I want you to remember what the holy prophets said long ago and what our Lord and Savior commanded through your apostles.
3 Most importantly, I want to remind you that in the last days scoffers will come, mocking the truth and following their own desires. 4 They will say, “What happened to the promise that Jesus is coming again? From before the times of our ancestors, everything has remained the same since the world was first created.”
5 They deliberately forget that God made the heavens by the word of his command, and he brought the earth out from the water and surrounded it with water. 6 Then he used the water to destroy the ancient world with a mighty flood. 7 And by the same word, the present heavens and earth have been stored up for fire. They are being kept for the day of judgment, when ungodly people will be destroyed.

As for the question, I think I do...sometimes. I am often the old guy around the lab, and my thinking certainly influences others, and most of the time I'm offering advice, etc. I would have to admit that while I don't have tons of opportunities (as most of the questions are technical), I still fall short often.
Father watch over these men today and give me discipline and energy today.
In Jesus' name,
Amen

It's certainly hard not to fall prey to unwholesome thinking, when found in that situation. In the same sense, it's much harder to stimulate wholesome thinking in a culture that scoffs at it. That takes both courage and vulnerability.
LORD, give me the courage to stand strong and to resist unwholesome thoughts and conversations. Help me to be a reflection of You and not the world around me. Amen.

CAS,
I like the questions!!
I think I stimulate some wholesome thinking. I'm a whole lot better than before. I'm not trying to use this as a cop out but most of my life has been surrounded by unwholesome thinking but I'm finding it harder and harder to be involved in it(which is a good thing).
So, is it better to not say anything when the conversation becomes unwholesome? or should a man of faith try to change the conversation to a wholesome one? I'm somewhere right in between, right now.
