The Connection Between Thoughts and Conduct

Forsaking Wicked Ways and Thoughts

When the morning is light, they practice it. You see, as he thinketh in his heart, so is he. Don't forget that. God tells you, you think these and you let this in your mind. You do it. What you think you are, Woe to them that devise iniquity and work evil upon their beds.

Bringing Every Thought Into Obedience

Philippians 4 verse 8. I dare you, young people, to put that on a little plaque, boldly, and put it over the music before you select a CD that you hope your mother and father won't ever hear you listening to.

Applying Philippians 4:8 to Entertainment

I dare you who have televisions to put that on top of your television. Do me a favor, give it a chance, a fair chance, the same size as the screen, put it on top. That whole verse in bold black letters, as you sit listening, you know you are saying to God you're as good as putting your fist up to heaven in his face, knowing what he says.

How easy it is to throw or shout everything out of the conscience and put it on top of your television. If you haven't got the strength to put it off, throw it out. Tell me something, young man, the videos, the music, the DVDs, the programs, the books, is being entertained worth being defiled?

Answer God. Are you here tonight? Does it offend you that someone speaks like this? Someone has to. Someone has to. Don't you judge me. Judge me if I don't, before there's nothing left of the standard of...

The world will be the standard the church is. Nothing left. Be careful. Be careful, church of Christ. If you name the name of Jesus, whatsoever things are true. That's why I get scared of novels. Whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, music included, books, magazines, whatsoever things are lovely, lovely, put it off, child of God, if it's ugly.

Music, pow, pow, pow. If it's filthy, words, pow, pow. If it's drowning out decency, throw it out. Whatsoever things are good, report. If there be any virtue, child of God, if there's anything that can build you up morally, to the standard of God, to a life of holiness.

If there's anything that can do anything like that to keep you, anything, if it's the music you listen to, and it can, it can build you up, music, if it's godly and lovely and pure. It can keep you from negativeness.

God the Holy Ghost can use even music, but the devil will destroy anything you would ever know, but you walk with Jesus Christ through music. If it's not, if it's even got a question mark, you're finished, as far as you tend to walk with God.
