From the Pulpit...

I have been focusing on 'thinking no evil' in relation to other people. There is plenty of opportunity to consider another entire avenue, and that is plain old evil thoughts related to ourselves and our own sins, not in relation to other people. But we cannot do that now. Jesus came to rescue us from our own thoughts. He did not only pay for our sins to offer us forgiveness and a right standing with God. He also died so that we might be delivered from iniquity. And not just sin of deeds, but sins of thoughts as well. He does indeed want us to 'think no evil.' With His help, we can restrain our musings about other people’s wrong and refocus on things that are godly.
