THINK CONSTRUCTIVELY
(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. Peace Will Be With You
a) Paul longed that his beloved brethren "stand fast in the Lord" (Philippians 4:1), and that God's "peace be with" them all (Philippians 4:9). Paul tells the Christians at Philippi how to achieve this blessed state (Philippians 4:1-9)
2. Think Constructively
a) It's not hard for most people to find things true, noble, just, pure, lovely, reputable, virtuous, and praiseworthy to dwell upon (Philippians 4:8). The trick is to keep their minds on these things, and not to be distracted by the bawling of the world. Right thinking is realistic thinking, and the reality is that God is in control and evil doesn't have the upper hand. Thinking based on that fact breeds boldness in standing for the Lord, and cheerfulness on the pilgrimage through life.
