When it comes to the discipline of mind, it is very critical and albeit, most prone to be broken because of the high temptations and availability of avenues in the current world and age to ignore and discard this discipline. Here is where the most radical action is necessary. Jesus said, “And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than have two eyes and be thrown into hell” (Mark 9:47).
No man who allows the rottenness of HBO, R-rated videos, and the various soft-core pornography magazines to flow through his house and mind will escape sensuality! Job gave us wisdom for our day: “I made a covenant with my eyes not to look lustfully at a girl” (Job 31:1). How do you think Job would live in our culture today? He understood the wisdom of Proverbs: “Can a man scoop fire into his lap without his clothes being burned?” (Proverbs 6:27). Men, Job’s covenant forbids a second look. It means treating all women with dignity — looking at them respectfully. If their dress or demeanor is distracting, look them in the eyes, and nowhere else, and get away as quickly as you can!
The mind also encompasses the tongue, for as Jesus also said, “For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks” (Matthew 12:34). Paul is more specific: “But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God’s holy people. Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving” (Ephesians 5:3,4). There must be no sexual humor, urbane vulgarities, and coarseness, as so many Christians are so prone to do to prove they are not “out of it.”
