Philippians 4:8. A person having Christian Virtues must meditate on these virtues and practice these virtues every day in order to maintain self-control. Philippians 4:8 say to think on “... whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; ...”. By us meditating on Christian virtues we will start practicing them. If we meditate on God's truth in the Bible, we will start acting on His truths.

1 Samuel 8:5. People can argue all day on what is the best type of government be it representative, authoritarian, or even a theocracy. A more important consideration is who should lead the Government.

Psalms 73:11. When you are full of yourself you have no room for God. Even if you know God, you will question His wisdom putting your knowledge above Him (Psalms 73:11, "And they say, how doth God know? And is there knowledge in the most High?"). This is what happened with Adam and Eve. They began to put their wisdom before God's wisdom when they decided to eat of the forbidden fruit. With the devil's urging they began to think they could be as wise as God. They started to focus on what satisfied their pride and not on pleasing or being obedient to God.
