We are bombarded with bad news and inappropriate thoughts, language, and images all day long. It's in the news, on television, in movies, in the paper and perhaps even in our workplace or neighborhood. This is the world in which we live. This is a world that is filled with sin. So what are we to do? Do we give up and accept that this is just the way things are? Do we pretend that it doesn't exist?
We are given the answer to this by the Apostle Paul in Philippians 3:8-9. "And now dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. Keep putting into practice all that you learned and received from me - everything you heard from me and saw me doing. Then the God of peace will be with you."
