Main Idea: Healthy Christian thinking leads to healthy Christian living.

 

1. Healthy Christian living requires healthy Christian thinking. (vs. 8)

[8] Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.

Think about things that are:

- True

“Too many people go to church not to think or reason about the truths of Scripture, but to get their weekly spiritual high; to feel that God is still with them. Such people are spiritually unstable because they base their lives on feeling rather than on thinking…” – John MacArthur

- Honorable

- Just

- Pure

- Lovely

- Commendable

- Excellent

- Worthy of Praise
