There is no real reason to neglect examining how we think because our thoughts determine our actions. Neglecting this spiritual "check-up" has serious consequences. For example:

 

• Stunted spiritual growth - because we’re disobedient

 

• Judgementalizm  - because we’re so right being so wrong, we judge other people

 

• Hindered intellect - we will have no desire to be open to learn

 

• Sinfulness - this is the culminating result of neglecting to take a self-evaluation on a regular basis.

 

So, ask yourself from time to time "what are you thinking?" Then practice Paul's teaching in Philippians 4:8 "Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things."

 

Study Scriptures:

 

Psalm 66:18 "If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me."

 

2nd Timothy 3:16 "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,"
 

Romans 15:4 "For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope."
