As the Apostle Paul said to the Philippians:
Beloved, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. Keep on doing the things that you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, and the God of peace will be with you. (Phil. 4:8-9)
I would add: In this African American Heritage Month, whatever is doing justice, whatever is loving kindness, whatever is walking humbly with God, keep on doing these things that you have learned and received, and God’s peace will be with you. Amen.
