Embrace thinking and divine illumination

Keep this book of the law on my lips, meditating on it day and night, so that I may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be successful and prosperous. - Joshua 1: 8

And I am writing this book to plead that we follow Paul in this - that we not swerve to the right or to the left, but embrace both human thinking and divine illumination. - John Piper in "Think: The Life of the Mind and The Love of God"

Lot's of thoughts lately about the power of "thinking" and how much, as a culture, we don't really think. Dr. Fred Luskin at Stanford University, among others, claims we have 60,000 thoughts per day BUT 90% are repetitive.

That's not much thinking.


To that end.....I like the idea of that divine illumination!
