Renew our minds with God's way

Romans 12:1 - 2 (NIV) 1Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship. 2Do 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.

The media constantly propagates unbiblical conduct and values. Over time, the extreme and shocking has infiltrated our everyday life and made the taboo, shocking, unethical behaviours as acceptable, even cool. What was once unacceptable has become morally ambiguous. Everything is up to our choice. It is after all, our freedom to do as we like, it declares.

Flirting. Sex before marriage. Co-habitation are just some of the lifestyle patterns that come from a worldly perspective. Without realising it, we absorb so much of the world’s ways and continue to keep it in our hearts and minds. Why don’t we choose to unconform from the world? Instead let us renew our minds with God’s ways!
