Discipline Your Mind

Once I realized what God had called me to be, I made up my mind that I, by His grace, would be the best teacher of the Scriptures that I could be, not comparing myself with any other teacher. And for well over forty years, my life has been shaped by my desire to be able to teach the Scriptures the best that I can.

One of the things that I have done is disciplined my mind. I am very, very careful what I let into my mind. Basically, I hardly ever read anything unless I feel God wants me to read it. I very seldom look at a newspaper. If you try to find the news by watching television, you waste a whole lot of time. I don't want to waste time. For me, time is extremely precious.
