| Mind Pollution |
|
| "If anything is excellent or praiseworthy, think about such things." ( Philippians 4:8 , NIV ) |

Her mother was preparing the salad when she asked her for permission to go to an X-rated movie with some friends. The mother explained that it was not a good moral movie so she could not go. The daughter begged, "But, Mother, all my friends are going."
Then she noticed her mother putting food scraps into the salad. Alarmed, she said, "Mother! You're putting the scraps into the salad!" Her mother replied, "If you went to the X-rated movie, wouldn't you be polluting your mind as I am polluting the salad?" There was no more begging from the daughter.
To keep their hearts pure, Paul admonished the Philippian brethren to think on whatever is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, and admirable. Such thoughts will prevent improper thoughts which would take us away from God.
Peter told his readers that the two letters he wrote were "as reminders to stimulate you to wholesome thinking." He wanted them "to recall the words spoken in the past by the holy prophets and the command given by our Lord and Savior through your apostles" (2 Peter 3:1,2).
If we think on good things, we will prevent mind pollution. |

Help us, dear Father, to keep our minds pure for our sake and those near us. In the precious name of Your Son. Amen. - KAY L. PATTON, Abilene, Texas |
