2 THIS WEEK S HIGHLIGHTS Summer is finally here! With that comes a lot of free time. Free time for kids (adults too, for that matter) can be a dangerous thing for their minds. Today we revisited one of my favorite lessons in our ministry. We taught the kids about BOXING UP their thoughts. This technique is based on 2 Corinthians 10:5 NIrV which says, I destroy every claim and every reason that keeps people from knowing God. I keep every thought under control in order to make it obey Christ.. Paul knew what he was talking about. Here was a guy who u s e d t o h a r b o r s o m e p r e t t y a w f u l t h o u g h t s towardschristians. He can tell us that those thoughts were ungodly and lead to some pretty horrific words and acts on his part. So, he tells us to get our thoughts under control. Some translations say, take your thoughts captive. However you read it, it means the same, get rid of those bad, impure, sad, mean thoughts and change them into Godly thoughts that protect you from sin and further the Kingdom of God. Imagine you have a box in your head. If you re like me you probably have plenty of space for a box. But seriously, keep that box in your mind. When bad thoughts start to invade your brain, imagine yourself opening that box and placing the bad thought inside. Throw that box out of your head. Now, replace that thought with something of God. Positive thoughts will change the way you talk and act. Boxing up your thoughts isn t as easy or even as cute as it sounds. It takes conscious effort and hard work. The truth is, when you re mad, you re mad. But those thoughts, left unattended (unboxed), will eventually come out through your words and actions. Help your child learn to box up their thoughts. Remind them of the process, when they are obviously grouchy and having improper things in their head. Remind yourself too! FROMPASTORPHIL
3 thelesson Things Worth Remembering Joseph was a guy that went through a lot of tough situations. Undoubtedly, he probably had a lot of bad thoughts going through his head. Joseph always came around because God s presence was always with him. Here s the good news. God s presence is always with us too. His Holy Spirit guides our thoughts and our actions when we choose to listen. Even though God is with us, we often have trouble hearing Him or feeling His presence. This is because we allow other things to invade our minds. We worry (which He tells us not to do), we gossip (again, He commands we not do this), and then we have things happen that are out of our control. We have to be purposed to get into God s presence. This can be different for all of us. Myself, I can turn on a favorite worship song and pretty quickly realign my thoughts with His. Others like to get out into nature. Some can open the Bible and instantly feel His presence. Whatever method you choose, get there quickly when you sense you need His presence. This summer, plan specific times for your family to get into God s presence. This is important instruction for a family who is following Jesus. Just like you would plan a vacation or family time, this should be a part of your planned family time. Life-Tips fromtoday sstory 4 steps to help you BOX IT UP! BASED ON: 2 CORINTHIANS 10:5 1. RECOGNIZE Recognize when your thoughts are not Godly. 2. Repent If your thoughts are sinful, tell God you re sorry, and promise to not think that way again. 3. release Let go of the thought in your brain. Release it, and send it to the box! BOX IT UP! 4. REPLACE Replace the bad thoughts with Godly, positive thoughts. You ll be glad you scheduled some time with Him!

Why do you think Paul warns us to get control of our thoughts in 2 Corinthians 10:5? -Godly Thoughts -Ability to recognize bad thoughts -Your day tomorrow 3 Knowing where your thoughts will take you. Why do our thoughts eventually show up in our words and actions? What words or actions have you had lately that came from bad thoughts? How can you keep bad thoughts from becoming bad actions or words? (Think about BOX IT UP!) Recognizing bad thoughts. Why is it important to recognize when your thoughts are not good?
