Renewing the mind is a little
like refinishing furniture. It is a two-stage process. It involves taking off
the old and replacing it with the new. The old is the lies you have learned to
tell or were taught by those around you; it is the attitudes and ideas that have
become a part of your thinking but do not reflect reality. The new is the
truth. To renew your mind is to involve yourself in the process of allowing God
to bring to the surface the lies you have mistakenly accepted and replace them
with truth. To the degree that you do this, your behavior will be transformed.
-Charles Stanley
Romans 12:1-2 And so, dear brothers and sisters,
I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done
for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find
acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him.
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.
