How should we develop our mind?

I. Our relationship with God needs to influence the way we think.
Romans 12:1 & 2 Romans 8:5 & 6 Colossians 1:21 &22
You have freedom to do what you want but God does have expectations.
1. Don't "conform to the pattern of this world" any longer.
Our refusal to conform to this world's values, however, must go
even deeper than the level of behavior and customs. It must be
firmly planted in our mind.
2. "Be transformed by the renewing of your mind". It is possible to
avoid most worldly customs and still be proud, covetous, selfish,
stubborn and arrogant. Only when the Holy Spirit renews, reeducated,
and redirects our mind are we truly transformed. Romans 8:5 & 6
3. We must direct our mind in all things.
Colossians 1:21 & 22
