The Proverbial Warped Mind

A man is praised according to his wisdom,
but men with warped minds are despised.
~ Proverbs 12:8

Right before Paul talks about the Fruit of the Spirit, he says, in Galatians 5:19-21:

The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like.

If your mind is bent toward those things, your mind is warped. If your mind is focused on the things of heaven instead of the things on earth, you are pleasing God.
