Scriptures do not tell us to empty our minds and think nothing but to exercise the minds God has given us to think on things that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, or praiseworthy (see Philippians 4:8), to meditate on His law (see Psalm 119:97), and “to take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ” (2 Corinthians 10:5).
