Think Together

Read: Philippians 4:4-13

If there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. —Philippians 4:8

Bible In One Year: Isaiah 5-6; Ephesians 1

An executive of the world's largest toymaker said, "We are such a machine in terms of what we deliver on an annual basis that it doesn't allow time to think."

In an effort to stimulate creativity, this company is taking selected employees out of corporate headquarters and encouraging them to think together in new ways. For instance, when asked to devise a method to prevent an egg from breaking if dropped from 14 feet, one group went beyond the conventional approach of trying to cushion its fall and created an egg bungee cord.

What about us? Are our lives so focused on activity and production that we don't take time to think? In Paul's letter to the Philippians, he told them to meditate on things that are true, noble, just, pure, lovely, and of good report (4:8). What would happen if we began this kind of thinking together in our churches and homes? Might we discover creative, God-given approaches to problems that seem to defy solution? Would our perspective on life undergo a radical change?

"Meditate on these things" is a great command. Obeying it with our families and other believers could open doors of discovery for helping others, serving God, and living for Him. Now that's something to think about! —David McCasland

Lord, help us to think of the right and the true,
The pure and the noble—it all points to You;
For if we consider what's worthy of praise,
We'll then want to live for You all of our days. —Fitzhugh

Right thinking leads to right living.

TWO SOUND FILES AND THEIR BACKGROUND

After a Sunday morning talking head tv show is over, guests often come out on the sidewalk and talk to other reporters "staking out" the outside of the building. Both of the sound files linked below were made in the presence of Ted Kennedy as he came out for the "stake out" mini-press conference after CBS FAKE THE NATION.

Kennedy was about 15 to 20 feet from us. As he started answering a question from a reporter, he says something like "the greatest threat to America's security . . " . "Is Democrats!" yells BufordP, who is quite a bit louder in the sound file because he was standing next to me. CLICK HERE TO HEAR THE AUDIO [WAV FORMAT, 17 SECONDS, 194 KB], RIGHT CLICK AND SELECT "SAVE AS" TO DOWNLOAD FOR LATER PLAYING. You have to turn up the volume to hear Kennedy, but BufordP's shout will be quite loud.

That was the one interruption during the press conference. You can't believe how much self-discipline that takes when Kennedy talks (spews lies). (I can't blame BufordP for the momentary lapse when Kennedy had the gall to talk about threats to America's security.)

Leftists would have prevented any stake out press conference by charging toward a conservative government official or shouting him down to prevent reporters from questioning and the conservative from answering.

When Kennedy walked to his waiting limo after his mini-press conference ended, tgslTakoma shouted a question: "Why did you have to cancel your campaign appearance in Nanticoke, Pennslyvania?" [Until someone realized the flub, Kennedy had scheduled to campaign for Kerry right next to the hometown of Mary Jo Kopeche, the young woman that died when Kennedy drove her off a bridge in 1969.]

Kristinn then shouted a comment and question to Kennedy about Kennedy describing the U.S. involvement in Iraq using the same words as the terrorists. Seeing Kennedy about to enter the vehicle, I'm afraid that I interrupted Kristinn by shouting "Watch out for the bridge!" The sound file begins with Kennedy finishing an answer.
