Have you ever been thinking about something that makes you mad and then snap at someone who has nothing to do with what you were thinking about? At that moment, you weren't in  a peaceful state. What you chose to dwell on affected your behavior. The Apostle Paul tells us the kind of things we should be thinking about so that we can have God's peace instead of our emotions affecting how we represent Christ. Today's teaching comes from Philippians 4:4-9 (NLT)
