JAMES 1
21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
WHAT ARE YOU FILLING YOUR MIND WITH?
I have a question for you.
How much time do you spend watching trash TV and how much time do you spend in the word of God?
Let me tell you that you can never grow in your Christian life, if you are continually filling your mind with the trash of the world. You know James pulls no punches, he calls a spade a spade and tells you as it is.
Although it was written nearly 2,000 years ago, it is so relevant. we need to get rid of all the filth of the word, but we have to replace it with the pure milk of the word of God.
In psalm 119:37, we hear this:
37 Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; and quicken thou me in thy way.
So, believer stop watching rubbish on Tv and the internet/cell phone and get your focus on the word of God.
Here are some verses to help you:
1 Peter 2
2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby.
Philippians 4
8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.
Receive the word , let it become part of you, because that is the only thing that can help you grow as a Christian, the TV and Cell phone will not.
God bless you!
