Our Thinking

Romans 12:2 NLT Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God's will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.

Most have learned to copy the behavior of others in their quest for success. We read all kinds of self help books with steps to becoming the success the writer had become. As we follow their paths mimicking their techniques we find they work well and we are on our way.

However, what we mimick may work for us but it does not change who we really are. It justs create a facade or a mask that others see. They never get to see the real us. We have copied the behavior and customs of others in this world.

When we are born again, the result of asking Jesus into our heart and accepting Him as our Lord and Savior, God begins a transformation process in us. We do not mimic other believers. We become the person God created us to be as we allow the Holy Spirit to work in us and through us.

Does this just happen all at once? No, it happens as we walk out our walk with Him. As we go and stumble along the path, He grows us. He begins to change the way we think and act so we can be in His will
