Do You Have Sound Thinking?





The following is by Nancy Leigh DeMoss:

A woman who does not have sound thinking:

    is impulsive
    lacks discretion
    follows worldly philosophies
    is driven by her flesh
    lacks follow-through
    is self-centered
    is discontented
    has emotions controlled by circumstances
    seeks escapism from problems
    is easily provoked
    falls apart in a crisis
    easily loses hope
    says whatever she thinks without thinking first
    is highly opinionated
    speaks roughly with profane or crass talk
    is overly concerned about what other people think
    has unpredictable behavior
    is morally careless
    procrastinates
    is given to extremes
    is a pleasure seeker
    is easily distracted
    yields easily to temptation
    struggles to develop consistent life disciplines
    enjoys mindless entertainment
    looks for the easy way out
    thinks about the short-term rather than the long-term
    is demanding
    fritters away time
    makes decisions based on what is easiest

A woman who does have sound thinking:

    is restrained in:
        her thoughts
        her tongue
        her eating
        her spending
        her reactions
    is calm under pressure
    is purposeful in the use of her time
    is a good steward
    is morally chaste
    has a well-ordered life
    show good judgment
    doesn't "lose it" under pressure
    responds in faith versus fear
    guards her heart and mind
    evaluates what she reads or hears in light of Scripture
    is mentally disciplined
    resists temptation
    shows delayed gratification
    demonstrates others-centered living
    is diligent and faithful in her responsibilities
    is intentional
    is modest in dress and behavior
    hopes in God
    gives thanks in all things
    makes wise, biblical decisions
    prays
    demonstrates the Spirit controlling her flesh
