A huge distinction is seen between the carnal and the spiritual mindset. While we tend to think the carnal mind is associated with all kinds of evil, it starts with where are thoughts and affections lie. Upon an honest evaluation of your thoughts and the content of your conversations, what is their focus?

Carnality has to do with one's mindset. So, discussing the Christian's attitude is all about a spiritual mindset instead of a mindset on the things of this material world. Having the proper attitude toward trials and death will ultimately depend on your mindset. If you are carnally minded, you will be anxious, worried, fretful about tomorrow, and unsure about today. If you are spiritual, you will be sure about your future, see trials as stepping stones to higher ground, and long for home.
