"Do not conform yourselves to this age but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and pleasing and perfect." (Romans 12: 1 – 2)
Be transformed by the renewal of your mind. God's word transforms and renews our mind. But it is a gradual process.
The world is desperately trying to transform and control our minds through the following:
- Mass media
- Marketing and advertising gimmicks
- False ideas circulated through books and blogs
- Pseudo sciences
- Pseudo statistics
For example: The word of man screams – "Control population because the earth's resources are depleting. There won't be enough for everybody."
The word of God says: "God's resources are infinite. He supplies all living things with food in due season. God is a compassionate and responsible Father."
What you believe depends on what you consume most. If you consume more the word of man, you tend to believe it. If you consume more the word of God, your faith in God and His ways grow.
Word of man is aggressive. It shouts the message through every media, using all resources. Word of God is like the gentle soft sound that is heard in deep silence.
