Spokesman Article
Amazingly, autumn is just around the corner! Students and teachers are returning
to the classroom. This month we would like to share some thoughts on
intellectual health.
What is intellectual health? Our intellect is just one dimension of wholistic
health.
It refers to the creative use of our mind. A person who is intellectually whole
strives to develop his/her mind and use it for the glory of God and for the
benefit of human community.
God is the source of all wisdom. The Bible has much to say about our intellect.
Intellectual health starts with recognizing that God is the ultimate source of
all knowledge and wisdom. “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;
all those who practice it have a good understanding” (Psalm 111:10).
Our intellect affects all other aspects of our life. All the other dimensions
(physical, emotional, spiritual, social, vocational, and environmental) of our
being are affected by our thinking. True understanding and Godly use of our
intellect helps us be whole and joyful, and helps us find a purpose for our
lives.
May we recognize the source of our mental abilities, and use them to God’s glory
and for the service of others.
