I heard the other day about meditating on His Word...He IS the Word! Not only can you do this by reading the bible, but meditating on WHO HE IS! Coolness!
We meditate on His word, love people, try to live as purely as possible, and the list goes on. But you get the idea!

Purely as in "not watching certain movies and not gossiping or putting people down, etc.? Not doing things you are convicted of? Are these good examples in your mind, Fluffy?
Bondman said: "to get as much right-living/righteousness - similar to holiness - into our lives as we possibly can!"
So, is right-living/righteousness different from holiness? Can you give me an example of right-living, Bondman? I'm just trying to figure out if I am living righteously.
Does this include dressing yourself decently too? It could include a whole lot of things couldn't it? I noticed in my new church that the women dress a lot more modestly than they did at my old church, and it is noticable. But they don't seem to look down on anyone not dressed like them, so I don't feel bad or anything. Do you think this is part of holy living? Bonnie
