Message for October 4,2 2026 from Pastor Shirley

Meditate on These Things

Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy, meditate on those things. 

NKJV Spirit Filled Life Bible Word Wealth 

Good report, “euphemos.”   Compare euphemism and euphemistic. A combination of “eu” well and “pheme”: as saying, euphemism is speech that is “gracious, auspicious, praiseworthy, and fair sounding.” It includes the avoidance of words of ill omen.

An Old Testament counterpart is found in Proverbs 16:24: “Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the bones.”
