New Mind

What we think eventually drives what we do, what we believe, what we will, our affections, and our actions.

1. When our minds are transformed we no long conform.
   We were formerly darkness but now we are light in the Lord.
   Romans 1:21-25 Foolish hearts were darkened
   Ephesians 5:8-14
   1 John 2:15-17 This has to do with a change of affections
   James 1:13-18
2. "Sow a thought, reap an action; reap a habit; sow a habit, reap a character; reap a destiny." Pursuit of Holiness by Andrew Murray
3. "...first a mere thought comes to the mind, then strong imagination, followed by
   pleasure, evil delight and consent..." The Imitation of Christ by Thomas A. Kempis
   Romans 8:1-8
   So how are we transformed? By the renewing of our minds. And how is our mind
   renewed? By offiering ourselve as living sacrifices; this is our spiritual act of
   worship. worship is giving God our mind's attention, our heart's affections, and
   our life's allegiance.
   Matthew 7:24-27
   To be a living sacrifice is to let go of my way and surrender to God's way.
   2 Corinthians 10:5
   1 Peter 1:13-16
4. When our minds are transformed we no longer conform.
