"Holiness begins in our minds
and works out to our actions.
That being true, what we allow
to enter our minds is critically important.
The television programs we watch,
the movies we may attend,
the books and magazines we read,
the music we listen to,
and the conversations we have
all affect our minds.
We need to evaluate
the effects of these avenues honestly,
using Philippians 4:8 as a standard.
Are the thought stimulated by
these various avenues true?
Are they pure? Lovely?
Admirable, excellent, or praiseworthy?"
