right discernments

A simple definition for "Think" - simply right discernments.

I'll be honest - I'm not totally sure how we can always know if our thinking patterns will lead to the right kinds of discernments. But I'm not really interested in getting overly philosophical about this here in this blog. So here are a few key things that I think at least aim us in the right direction:
1) strong basis in factual information
2) recognize the limits of what we know
3) make good and careful observations
4) logical steps in a rational argument
5) stay focused
6) do our thinking after checking the heart for good motives
7) reach balanced judgments
