Thoughts

Finally, brethren whatsoever things are exciting, whatsoever things are fun, whatsoever things are thrilling, whatsoever things are cool, whatsoever things are popular, whatsoever things make me feel good; if there be any humor if there be any entertainment, do these things.

The new and modern translation.

I was thinking of the things some people think are good entertainment and I wondered if Philippians 4:8 had changed. Many times it seems like people run what they do through a different verse. Let us remember what the verse truly says and follow it.

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

I agree. Too often people do things that will bring pleasure and don't stop to think about if it would please God or not.
