My verse of the day yesterday was Philippians 4:8 “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.”
Last Wednesday night Les was asked to give a short Bible study on entertainment, what is acceptable and what is not. He did a great job and really challenged my thinking! I don't want to squander my days in idle pursuits.
He did not hand out a list of dos and don'ts. He encouraged us to use the "Philippians 4:8 Test." If you're faced with the decision of choosing to participate in an activity or not, ask yourself if what you're contemplating is true, honest, just, pure, lovely, and of good report. This can apply to what you read, listen to, talk about, places your go, or just your own thoughts.
I'll be putting my posts through this test as well!
