cell

Romans 12:2 (NIV)
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.


In Cell tonight we looked at this verse and talked about how we all need to be transformed to be more like Christ... Whether we see/know where we need to change, or not. This transformation is not anything that we can do it is only God that can do it in us... however we have to allow Him to do it...
Reading from the Message it says
"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. Readilly recognize what he wants from you and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to it's level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you."
That is a Challenge... how often do we (i know i do at times), go through the daily activities, work, eat, sleep, sport, ect... fitting in with the way the world does things with out even thinking... we have been trained to live and act in certain ways in which corespond with the way the world does things... These need to be broken... we need to see things from God's view, we need to Fix our eyes on Christ, and let Him work in us, and bring the change from the inside... For that is the only way there is a lasting change.

Lord bring on change that will last, change from the inside..

peace...
