"Your Thoughts"

August 11, 2020 | By Chuck

When we see bad behavior these days rarely does it shock us. That statement is a sad commentary on our world today. We are constantly hearing or reading about some evil act that has taken place. Maybe you’re like me and you find yourself asking how someone could do something so terrible. What is it that causes someone to cross the line in their life to ungodly, immoral and even violent behavior?
I don’t pretend to know all the answers but I do believe it has to do with what an individual allows into his or her mind. What a person meditates on will eventually come out in their actions. If your thoughts are constantly negative, then your attitude and behavior will more than likely be negative as well. You can’t allow yourself to think about the sinful and ungodly and expect your behavior to be pure and holy. The more he viewed pornography the deeper he got into it, until Ted Bundy began to act out his thoughts by sexually assaulting and killing many young women in the 70’s. Your thoughts matter.
“Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things”(Phil.4:8). “I will meditate on your precepts and fix my eyes on your ways”(Psalm 119:15).
