Just because a person is a Christian does not mean his life will reflect a Christian mindset. What that tells us is that having a Christian mindset in life is not incidental to becoming a Christian. In Paul’s letter to the church at Philippi he writes, “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 2:5, KJV). More accurately, this is an appeal for us to have the same mindset as Christ. In this episode, Frank King addresses some areas of Christian living that are vital to developing a Christian mindset. These areas are found in chapter four of Paul’s letter to the Philippians. Paul’s appeal is consistent with who we are as Christians. But some Christians will read the verses focused upon in the episode and dismiss them because some believers don’t think they can live accordingly. But God never calls on us to live on a level that He has not equipped us to live on. In Christ, He has changed our lives to live a Christlike life. Success won’t happen overnight, but if we never take the first step, we will never get there. We have a saying in life that attitude determines altitude. This is true in our walk with Christ as well. For instance, when we commit to rejoicing always, and to not living in anxiety mode, and to occupying our mind with thoughts that are honest and pure and of good virtue, as Paul writes, our doing so will take us to another place in our relationship with the Lord. But if we are always having a pity party and worrying about everything in life and thinking negatively, the devil will have a field day with us. How committed are you to developing a Christian mindset?
