LIVING AS CHRISTIANS

Integrity and Our Thoughts

Integrity and Our Thoughts

We demonstrate integrity not just by what we say and do but also by what we think about. (Ps 19:14) Therefore, the Bible urges us to think about whatever things are true, of serious concern, righteous, chaste, lovable, well-spoken-of, virtuous, and praiseworthy. (Php 4:8) Of course, we cannot always prevent wrong thoughts from entering our mind. However, self-control can help us to push a bad thought out and replace it with a wholesome one. Maintaining integrity in our thinking will help us to maintain integrity in our actions.​—Mr 7:21-23.
