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."
I Will Stand is a book that focuses on building character. Living a life of character begins with self evaluation. Did you ever hear the phrase, "Garbage in, garbage out?" This referred to bad programming when it came to computers. If you put corruption in, that is going to be your outward result. Isn't that the same with us? We all can tend to get sloppy in what we allow to go into our hearts and minds. If we fill them up with dirty pictures, dirty words, bad habits, anger, hate, unforgiveness and bitterness, violence, lies and other negative things, that will lead to an outward display of the same. But if we instead fill our hearts and minds with things that are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, of good report, virtuous and praiseworthy, then that will lead to a positive display of character.
Please tell me what YOU think!
