If we feed our minds with the garbage of the world, that is what will come out of us.
Talking Points:
- Think about who it is that you want to be. If you want to be someone who honors God, then you should feed yourself with stuff that will help you do that.
- Remove the things in your life that negatively impact you. If you are noticing that the things in your life are dragging you down and making you think or act in negative ways, cut them out. Romans 12:2
- Fill your life with things that push you toward God and help you live a life that honors him. This may mean cutting things out of your life that you enjoy, but it will be best for you in the long run. Philippians 4:8, Matthew 23:25-26
