Honor is greatly misunderstood in today’s culture. Yet Paul commands us to fill up our minds with that which is honorable.

As Christians, how can we understand what “honorable” is and how do we keep a guard upon our mind that reflects this quality?

In this episode, Nathan Johnson tackles this complex Greek word and describes three ways in which our minds can be honorable and noble no matter what goes on around us.

Paul’s command to think on what is true is far more that something factual or informational — he refers embracing the Person of Jesus and being filled up with the Word of God.

In this episode, Nathan Johnson examines Paul’s first command of things to think upon and discovers that truth is twofold, it expels all lies, and transforms our personal experience and reality.

In Philippians 4:8, Paul gives a list of eight things we are to think, or meditate, upon.

More than a mental grasp or understanding, Paul asserts that the meditation of the Christian mind should affect our lives in every way. As we “fill up our minds” with the things on his list, they in turn should radically transform how we behave, talk, and think.

In this episode, Nathan Johnson unpacks the concept of “think” or “dwell” and how essential the word is to our understanding of the entire passage.
