Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
Romans 12:2, ESV
We want to change the world, but God calls us to start with our own hearts and minds, seeking His heart and mind in our lives.
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.
Colossians 3:16, ESV
One of the strongest means of turning our minds from the thinking of this world is encouraging and teaching each other in God’s Word.
Let us help each other in the Spirit to have our minds conformed to Christ.
Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.
Philippians 2:3, ESV
Our inclination is to help ourselves or to help others to feel good about ourselves, but the Holy Spirit changes our thinking and inclinations to care more for others for God’s glory.

1 Thessalonians 5:17, ESV
We can talk about our thoughts and interests all day. We think about things all day.
Let us open ourselves to the Holy Spirit guiding those thoughts into prayers to God so that we think more like Him.
Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.
Romans 5:3-5, ESV
God wants us to rely on Him, that we could do more than we know. Growing stronger in Christ conforms us ever more to His likeness, and our hope and love grows.
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
Romans 12:2, ESV
When saturated in the culture, it is easier to be like everyone else. Move with the Spirit to be made new in Christ in every moment.
