The following is a thought-provoking passage taken from "As a Man Thinks" by Thomas J. Watson:
"The furniture of our minds consists of what we hear, read, observe, discuss and think each day. Are we retaining in our minds too much old furniture which should be replaced by new, or are we making room for new and better furniture to meet the constantly changing conditions with which we are confronted? The minds that are going to be of the most value during the coming year are those that are being furnished daily with sound, constructive ideas and plans that will be helpful in a most effective way. . . . The mind is a storehouse of information--either useful or useless. Whether it be filled with trash or treasure is a matter of our own choosing. The furniture of the mind reflects our character, personality and ability, and determines the extent of our accomplishments."

This reminds me of the old computer saying, "Garbage in, Garbage out!" Powerful is the man / lady whose mind is furnished with the furnishings of faith.
