'How long shall thy vain thoughts lodge within thee?' — Jeremiah 4:14
The heart is like a boardinghouse where we welcome and entertain many ideas like guests. In The Vanity of Thoughts, Thomas Goodwin helps us consider our native tendency to harbor frivolous and sinful mental companions. And having identified the severity of our condition, Goodwin encourages us to humbly and mindfully perform some much-needed housekeeping. He also provides remedies against these unprofitable inhabitants. We live in an age of information and a culture of entertainment. Here is a timely reminder about the vital importance of our thought life with a call to bring every thought captive to the lordship of Jesus Christ.
