Now that you have cleaned your house, fill it with good things that will point you to God and encourage godly living. "Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated a the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly tings" (Colossians 3:1-2). We can bolster a "God-focused" heart and mindset by what we keep in our home and what we do for entertainment. The following are house-filling suggestions.¹⁸

• Post Bible verses in key places (computer monitor, bedroom, bathroom, workshop, office, car) and recite/review them often.
• Tune your radio and TV to Christian stations; minimize exposure to secular stations.
• Listen to Bible teaching tapes and read books that encourage you in your walk with Christ.
• Invest in wholesome videos and DVDs.
• Devote consistent time to prayer and Bible study.
• Start attending and serving in a Bible-believing church.

There is hope. If you recognize any part of yourself in what has been described, you face perhaps the greatest battle in your life-deciding to get help. Although you will be afraid to talk about your behavior, the consequences of remaining silent far outweigh the decision to keep the secret. Come clean! Step out in faith. God is loving and forgiving and works miracles everyday. Get the help you need.
