Ohhh…. Me likey!

Someone e-mailed a suggestion to my request for better shorthand for tnrplaep!  To help us consider what thoughts to take captive and make obedient to Christ, we consider Philippians 4:8,

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.  ~ Philippians 4:8

But since all those words are a bit of a mouthful, I was hoping for a shorthand.  And I love the suggestion {dhs} sifter!

That’s precisely what Philippians 4:8 does – it helps us sift through what we should be thinking on and which thoughts we should send to the place with the {double hockey sticks}.  It focuses us on the things of Christ and helps us transform our minds to be more like Christ’s.  It helps kick sin and Satan — and all their sneaky ways — where they belong.  And it frees us to delight in conflict done well.

That’s a pretty darn valuable sifter!
