"whatever things are pure...meditate on these things" ~Phil 4:8~

We live in a time where many things are corrupt...media, government, organizations. But worse than any of these is when our minds become corrupt. Sometimes we allow a small thing to take root in our thoughts, and we never imagine it can grow so out of control...it becomes a twisting vine that takes over & chokes out anything good. It can be sexually related things, an addiction, or it can be a root of bitterness toward somebody, something, some event. Without ever realizing it, we can slowly slip into a very dark existance.
That is not the life Christ intends for us. He deeply desires the abundant life for us. He wants us to fill our mind constantly with pure, Godly images, messages, songs, words, renewing them throughout the day... attached to Him as the controling vine of our life. Focus your thoughts on these things.
