Spiritual Versus Secular Modes Of Thought Part [2] 10/23/2026 (Morning thought)

1st Corinthians 1:20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

There are secular folk who do good, but any real good which comes from the natural man, is the result of the protracted working of grace in his heart, even though in most cases he’s not aware of the real source. Thus, when the heart is renewed by God, different modes of thought and action, different purposes, and different ways and means of doing things, are adopted, and how we process situations, and reach conclusions, and solutions, are all very different to the secular mind.

Our first passage tells us the reason why this is the case, for spiritual things are spiritually discerned, and this can only take place with a spiritual mind. Therefore, The Christian’s perspective on life should never be the same as that of the secular mind. Finite minds are shackled with limitations, whereas persons who believe in God incorporate additional factors which are spiritual in nature, and which are almost never recognized by science, and absolutely never acknowledged by evolution.

Science as we know it, and more so evolution, does not make allowance for either a God or a devil, and because of this the secular mind immediately shuts down the prospect of miracles or supernatural work by invisible beings. Basically, not happening in the secular mind. From the secular perspective you would often hear statements like hope is not a strategy and that there are certain diseases which are incurable.

1st Corinthians 1:21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
