“Think About These Things” SPIRITUAL STABILITY IS THE RESULT OF HOW A PERSON THINKS

SPIRITUAL STABILITY IS RIGHT THINKING 8  Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy--meditate on these things. 9  The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you. “Finally”…..Meditate…Think Dwell on these things. (2) Evaluate these things. (3) Consider spending your time on these things. (4) Calculate these things. (5) Order these things into your life.

SPIRITUAL STABILITY IS RIGHT THINKING Proverbs 23:7 7 For as he thinks in his heart, so is he. "Eat and drink!" he says to you, But his heart is not with you. 1 Corinthians 8:2 2 And if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know.

SPIRITUAL STABILITY IS RIGHT THINKING Galatians 6:3 3 For if anyone thinks himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. Mark 7:20-23

SPIRITUAL STABILITY IS RIGHT THINKING What is the question of the day? Is it TRUE? Acts 17:11 “Examined the scriptures daily” How does it make me feel? Does it work?

SPIRITUAL STABILITY IS RIGHT THINKING Scripture describes the unsaved mind as Depraved (Rom. 1:28;) Romans 1:28 28  And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting;

SPIRITUAL STABILITY IS RIGHT THINKING Focused on the flesh (Rom. 8:5) Romans 8:5 5  For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. Leads to spiritual death (Rom. 8:6) Romans 8:6 6  For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

SPIRITUAL STABILITY IS RIGHT THINKING Hostile to God (Rom. 8:7; Col. 1:21) Romans 8:7 7  Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. Colossians 1:21 21  And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled

SPIRITUAL STABILITY IS RIGHT THINKING Foolish (1 Cor. 2:14) 1 Corinthians 2:14 14  But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. Hardened to spiritual truth (2 Cor. 3:14) 2 Corinthians 3:14 14  But their minds were blinded. For until this day the same veil remains unlifted in the reading of the Old Testament, because the veil is taken away in Christ.

SPIRITUAL STABILITY IS RIGHT THINKING Blinded by Satan (2 Cor. 4:4) 2 Corinthians 4:4 4  whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them. Futile (Eph. 4:17) Ephesians 4:17 17  This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind,

SPIRITUAL STABILITY IS RIGHT THINKING Ignorant (Eph. 4:18) Ephesians 4:18 18  having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart; Defiled (Titus 1:15) Titus 1:15 15  To the pure all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but even their mind and conscience are defiled.

SPIRITUAL STABILITY IS RIGHT THINKING To Help You to Think right thoughts) True: (occupy your mind with true thoughts Noble: (Honest) Just: (People want justice; really?) Micah 6:8 Pure: Lovely: Good report: (well sounding, well spoken of, words that ‘win’ others)
