This trip, we went spent a lot of time walking on the beach. I love sunrise and sunset. This is one of my favorite places to pray and worship. A bad thought crossed my mind, from something I saw on T.V. last night and I immediately thought of this verse.
Philippians 4:8, ( Finally , whatsoever things are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, and of good report; if there be any virtue, any praise, think on these things).
I don't think that it is sin to have a evil thought cross your mind, but do not dwell on it or become intrigued with the idea. Then, you are playing with fire. The book of James has a verse for this progressive act of sin. James 1: 15 (Then when desire is conceived, it gives birth to sin and when sin reaches maturity it produces death).
The battle begins in the mind. The Lord gave us a beautiful mind. You can fill it with garbage found on T.V., the internet, movies, or trashy novels. (or) You can choose to fill your mind with things that elevate and edify your mind. Try bible studies, christian literature ,sermons , stimulating conversation and reading the Word every day.
