A Word from the Vine No. 102: What Are You Filling Your Head With? The Source of Information

Greetings, brothers and sisters! Welcome to another enlightening episode of "A Word from the Vine." I'm Pastor Loren Christensen of Danish Countryside Chapel. Today, we embark on a three-part series titled "What are you filling your head with?" In this first episode, titled "The Source of Information," we will explore the importance of being mindful of the information we consume.


Proverbs 4:23 wisely advises us, "Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life." This verse reminds us to be diligent in guarding our hearts and minds.


In our fast-paced world, information bombards us from various sources, both good and bad. Let's consider a few examples:


The Poisonous Well: Imagine a well contaminated with toxic substances. If we drink from it, our health would suffer. Similarly, there are sources of knowledge that promote falsehood, immorality, and ungodliness. Social media platforms, certain websites, or even gossip-filled conversations can poison our minds and hearts, leading us astray from God's truth.


The Pure Fountain: On the other hand, we have sources that bring refreshment and nourishment to our souls. The Word of God, the teachings of wise and faithful pastors, uplifting Christian literature, and genuine fellowship with believers are like pure fountains that quench our thirst for truth, wisdom, and spiritual growth.


As followers of Christ, we must be discerning in choosing our sources of information. Let us actively seek knowledge that aligns with God's Word and promotes love, kindness, and righteousness. We should be intentional about engaging with sources that edify our faith, deepen our understanding of God, and equip us to navigate the challenges of life in a way that brings honor to our Heavenly Father.


By immersing ourselves in God's truth and seeking wisdom from trustworthy sources, we guard our hearts and minds against the deceitful allure of worldly knowledge. We become equipped to discern right from wrong, to challenge the prevailing ideologies that contradict God's Word, and to stand firm in our faith.


As we conclude this episode, let us remember the importance of being mindful of the source of our information. By keeping our hearts with vigilance, we ensure that the springs of life flowing from within us are nourished by God's truth. In the upcoming episodes, we will delve deeper into the impact of what we watch and listen to. May we seek wisdom from above as we navigate the sea of information and choose to fill our minds with that which brings honor and glory to our Heavenly Father.
