Where Does Your Mind Dwell?

Contributed by Eston Williams on Feb 3, 2006

Each of us gets to choose the thoughts on which our minds dwell. Paul suggests dwelling on whatever is true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, admirable, and worthy of praise.

Where does you mind dwell? What kind of thoughts occupy your thinking most to the day? It’s an interesting question to which most of us would probably reply, “I haven’t really thought about it.” The Apostle Paul encouraged the people who were the church in Phillipi and the people who are the ...read more

Sophomore Or Saint? Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Aug 10, 2008

Get In Agreement With, "Gods Word"

Contributed by Charlie Roberts on Feb 24, 2011

But you say, I didn’t do anything to deserve all this! Not one of us has ever did anything to deserve the goodness of God! It is only because of our relationship with Jesus that we are qualified to receive any of Gods Goodness towards us.

Contributed by Bob Joyce on Nov 10, 2010

At the end of a year, we can choose to let go of things that have weighed us down in the previous year. We can lose some of the baggage that we carry around and choose to replace it with the love of Christ.
