"Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things." Phillipians 4:8.
dwell on these things
Great thoughtS Bro Dave and so true .........
But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.
1Th 4:10 And indeed you do it toward all the brethren which are in all Macedonia: but we beseech you, brethren, that you increase more and more;
1Th 4:11 And that you study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;
1Th 4:12 That you may walk honestly toward them that are without, and [that] you may have lack of nothing.
1Th 4:13 ΒΆ But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
1Th 4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
1Th 4:18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
the whole chapter :HeartThrob:
I have found that if one has the courage to stare evil in the face and know it for what it is, then one will see clearly what is true, honorable, right, pure, lovely, of good repute, excellent, and worthy. But, few have the courage to look at evil. They look away, allowing it to prosper. They become complicit in its darkness. They don't realize that only by looking at evil, will they ever see good.
John 8:32
..and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."

15Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
16Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

:thumbsup: AMEN ! to know Jesus Christ is the Light unto men ,,,,
the Light is come into our hearts and does shine forth ......
Jhn 3:19 And this is the condemnation,
that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
Jhn 12:46
I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness. 1Cr 4:5 Therefore
judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God. 2Cr 4:6 For
God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to [give] the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. the Light is the knowledge of Jesus Christ some do not have the light of the knowledge in the Face of Jesus Christ to their shame :mblush:
Be not deceived:
evil communications corrupt good manners. 1Cr 15:34 Awake to righteousness, and sin not;
for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak [this] to your shame.
:cloud9:
Hold back the four winds until I have sealed their foreheads.
:cloud9: Amen, and the reason is the 4 winds (4 parts to the soul) try to "blow" our candle out. But there is going to be a remnant that do not taste of death. Blessings....
Remember the Day star to have his light rise and shine in your heart , burning steady and not pulled about as the four winds blowing, to go on burning even brighter when darkness of the night comes calling.
