“When we blather about trivial things, we ourselves become trivial, for our attention gets taken up with trivialities. You become what you give your attention to.” ― Epictetus (100 AD)
Take care that we don’t become trivial Christians, a reflection of the shallow culture of our times. We not only need God’s truth, but its depth. Paul writes in 2 Tim 2:7, “Reflect on what I am saying, for the Lord will give you insight into all this.” It takes effort to think deeply, but the rewards are substantial and consequential.
