Overheard: Fighting Folly

Philippians 4:8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable– if anything is excellent or praiseworthy– think about such things. (NIV)“We are tempted constantly to surf the net or flip through hundreds of TV channels.”Almost none of it is noble, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, or praiseworthy.”Turn those things off.”The glory of God’s creation is all around us. Enjoy it.”People need our time and the hope of the Gospel. Spend time with them.”Focusing on Jesus Christ and these activities will help guard our hearts.”

We are tempted constantly to surf the net or flip through hundreds of TV channels. Almost none of it is noble, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, or praiseworthy.

Turn those things off.

The glory of God’s creation is all around us. Enjoy it.

People need our time and the hope of the Gospel. Spend time with them.

Focusing on Jesus Christ and these activities will help guard our hearts.”

We waste time. We waste our health. We waste opportunities.

We throw our lives away on folly.

Let’s get back to business!
