Every day thousands of images bombard us, whether through TV, radio, social media, newspaper, or personal experience. In the light of this assault, Paul encourages us to oppose these images with pure content.
It is not enough to cast out wrong thinking from our minds. If we reject a thought by sheer will, it will come back when we stop exercising our will. The mind cannot stand a vacuum. It will always draw something into it, good or evil. If we do not structure God’s thoughts into our thinking, thoughts opposed to God will direct our thinking. If we displace the world’s thoughts with God’s thoughts, we take on a new orientation, or attitude. We form God’s frame of reference or bearing about things.
Learn to think the Word. Things that are true, noble, just, pure, lovely, good report and virtue, and praiseworthy.
Psa 119:9,11 Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word. ... (11) Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
