How do I control my thoughts biblically?

Bring every thought captive to Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5), renew your mind through Scripture (Romans 12:2), meditate on what is true and good (Philippians 4:8), and keep your mind fixed on God (Isaiah 26:3). Thought control begins with what you feed your mind.
