The Imagination That Threatens The Nation

Summary

The sermon explores the biblical concept of imagination, emphasizing its dual nature as both a source of continual evil in fallen man and a potential for godly meditation. It highlights key scriptures that describe the imagination as inherently corrupt in the natural heart but also capable of meditating on God's law in the regenerated soul. The preacher discusses the internal dialogue (dialogismos) of the mind, illustrating how imagination can lead to disbelief and spiritual blindness, using examples from both the Old and New Testaments. Ultimately, the sermon calls for mind control and a focus on godly thoughts to honor God and resist the natural carnal tendencies of the human heart.
