2 Corinthians 10:5: Secure the Door!

2 Corinthians 10:5 (NKJV) Casting down arguments and every high 
thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every 
thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,  

COMMENTARY PEARL

   We have some rabbits in our garage, which belong to our 
grandchildren. They named one of them Cotton and the other Chubby Cutie. One 
day I went into the garage and discovered that Chubby Cutie and 
Cotton were loose and hopping around. I tried to catch them while I 
maneuvered around the things in my garage. Thankfully my grandson, 
Christopher, managed to grab them. We quickly returned Cotton and Chubby 
Cutie to their cage and secured their little door. 
   We all have a door, of sorts, in our lives. If we leave that 
door open, bad things can come in. We start by guarding our minds. We 
decide what thoughts will be allowed to take residence in our minds. 
All kinds of thoughts come to us all the time. They can be bad 
thoughts, good thoughts, horrible thoughts, or wonderful thoughts. We 
decide what is coming in and what isnt. 
   Thats why the Bible tells us to [bring] every thought 
into captivity to the obedience of Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5 NKJV). 
If you give the devil an inch, he will take a mile. Dont have 
any conversations with the devil. The Bible says, Resist the 
devil and he will flee from you (James 4:7 NKJV). 
   We also need to guard our mouths. Often we say something or 
tweet something or post something, and once its out, we wonder why 
we said it. We would do well to pray, as David did, Set a guard, 
O Lord, over my mouth; keep watch over the door of my lips 
(Psalm 141:3 NKJV). 
   Before you speak, apply the acronym THINK: Is it truthful? Is 
it helpful? Is it inspiring? Is it necessary? Is it kind? You might 
be thinking, If I applied that principle, then I would basically 
say nothing. So be it. [Greg Laurie from Harvest Ministries;
