Is it our job to get along and accept the mores and fads happening in the span of our lives, or, is it our job to stand up and oppose everything going on?
What if I told you it was neither?
What if I said that the Lord was concerned with what you were doing much more than what everyone around you is doing?
Would that be okay with you? The verse containing the conform or transform words has to do with whether we will succumb to the plans and schemes of the world, or, walk in the newness which is in Christ. This, however, takes a transformation in thinking, in living, and in the immersion of oneself in the Word and Will of God.
There is washing and regeneration available for those who want the process of Christianity to take place. This is not a life that is simply inherited, but rather one that has to be recognized and absorbed into a new way to think and act.
Renewing is a process our body knows. We get new skin every seven years on average, but sometimes think the same thoughts (destructively so) for decades.
Let’s break these “conforming” habits and pick up transforming habits. What do you say?
