I don't know why the below is so very hard to do. It takes a lot of effort on my part to do so in this world. Most of what is pushed on us are definitely not the below. I know it is a battle.

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 these things.

Philippians 4:8

The below is from John MacArthur

true. What is true is found in God (2Ti_2:25), in Christ (Eph_4:20-21), in the Holy Spirit (Joh_16:13), and in God's Word (Joh_17:17).

noble. The Greek term means "worthy of respect." Believers are to meditate on whatever is worthy of awe and adoration, i.e., the sacred as opposed to the profane.

just. This refers to what is right. The believer is to think in harmony with God's divine standard of holiness.

pure. That which is morally clean and undefiled.
lovely. The Greek term means "pleasing" or "amiable." By implication, believers are to focus on whatever is kind or gracious.

of good report. That which is highly regarded or thought well of. It refers to what is generally considered reputable in the world, such as kindness, courtesy, and respect for others.

It's a set up. We have been being mind diluted by the Nazi propaganda machine in "High places"for more than 20 years.
Both sides are ONE!

Me thinks "They" want a businessman in the chair for the next phase of operation?

2 Thessalonians 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.
16 Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,
17 Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.

Amen
