Do not conform
any longer
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.
Romans 12:2
Renewing of the mind is a process in which we are changed and molded to the image of Christ. When we receive salvation we become a new creation. (1 Corinthians 5:17) Though we are not yet fully spiritually mature, God begins His good work in our hearts and will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. (Philippians 1:6)
The Holy Spirit is the C.E.O. of spiritual remodeling of the heart. We can be made new in the attitude of our minds. We were created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. (Ephesians 4:23,24) Our new self is continually being renewed in the image of our Creator. (Colossians 3:10)
This godly character renewal begins a course for our lives we will run until the finish line of eternity. – Dan & Dave Davidson
God is seeking men and women of reckless faith today... to be reckless in your faith does not mean to be unthinking, but the reverse – concentrated, single- minded in your concern that God should be glorified and souls won…I believe the reason many Christians are so dull and lifeless in their faith is because they are not in the battle, not using their weapons, not advancing against the enemy. George Verwer
Above all,
love each other deeply,
because love covers over a multitude of sins.
1 Peter 4:8
"For I know the plans I have for you,"
declares the LORD, "plans to prosper and not
harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
Jeremiah 29:11
It’s easier to steer a moving car than a parked one.

Many are called, but few get up.
