'How long shall thy vain thoughts lodge within thee?' asks Jeremiah. Our minds are constantly flooded with unwelcome ideas in an age of information and entertainment, and most of us have stopped regarding that as a spiritual problem at all.

A timely reminder about the importance of the renewal of the mind, and a path toward bringing every thought captive to the lordship of Jesus Christ. Part of the Puritan Treasures for Today series.
