Take a Stand

Last night we were watching a movie, but we had to stop it halfway through. It had some bad language and the characters took God's name in vain. The story was an important one to learn but should we compromise just to learn a good lesson? People say to run things through the "Philippians filter" but what is the Philippians filter?
Philippians 4:8-9 says, "Finally brothers, 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"
We should strive not to compromise on things in our life that do not honor God(clothes, movies, friends, ect.). Part of being a "Rebelutionary" is taking a stand for what you believe in.
Father help us to stand for whatever is true and right in Your sight, not ours.
