Renewing of the mind

[VERMAURICE BROWN]

Renewing of the mind

Romans 12:2

2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will

be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating,

going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you

is the best thing you can do for him. Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it

without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You’ll be changed from the inside out. Readily

recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you

down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you.
