In your Mind

READ:                          "Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.  Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me--put it into practice.  And the God of peace will be with you.

Philippians 4:8-9

THINK:                     What we put into our minds determines what comes out in our words and actions.  Paul tells us to program our minds with thoughts that are true, honorable, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and worthy or praise. 

DO:                             Do you have problems with impure thoughts and/or deeds?  Examine what you are putting into your mind through television, Internet, books, games, conversations, movies, and magazines.  Replace harmful input with wholesome material.  Above all, read God’s Word and pray.  Ask God to help you focus your mind on what is good and pure.  It takes practice, but it can be done.
