God has given us the senses of hearing and seeing so we can perceive the world He created. He has also given us minds to discern what we hear and see, and mouths to express what we think and believe. The question is: how well are we using these gifts? Are they bringing glory to God and blessing to the people around us?
This book offers a practical way to guard the mind by picturing “monkeys” stationed at our gates—the gate of the ears, the gate of the eyes, and the gate of the mouth. As you read, you will be encouraged to pause before you speak, to shut your eyes to what you should not behold, and to refuse to listen to the lies of the world and the schemes of the evil one.
