The Apostle Paul's quest to exhort encouragement to the early church at Philippi reminded believers to recalibrate their minds to walk in the way of Christ, in virtue and goodness. The modern world is full of doom and gloom, and humans feel the weighty pressure of such negativity and anxiety. The believer's mind, however, has become new and should intentionally focus on whatever is true, just, pure, and lovely, always seeking a heart of peace. When we honor the commendable and worthy actions of those around us, it strengthens our own spiritual walk. Join Pastor John this week as he demonstrates putting God's Word into immediate action, honoring those who serve, those who endure hardship, those that achieve victory, and those who stand together as the body of Christ through all of it. When the enemy attempts to take you away from the majesty of God, hijack those negative thoughts and lead your mind back to God's grace and goodness.
