Rom. 12:2- And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
The enemy has the world centered on bringing everyone into the conformity of the lusts of the flesh. Hollywood has done more than its fair share to make this purpose more of a reality every day. Sex and violent rule what we watch on TV, and these two things have made millionaires of those who use their imaginations to purposely titillate the desires of the flesh. All of this is taking place at the expense of desensitizing people all around the world. Wrong is called right, and right is called wrong! They frowned on a professor this week that had a couple do a live sex act in front of his consenting class, but pornography is readily available for free on the Internet. What’s the difference?
My fellow Christians, we must not conform to the ways of the world. The Will of God is that we shun the tastelessly sinful ways of our society, and incorporate kingdom living on earth. To be different is a great challenge. And the way to begin the journey is to be transformed in our minds. Our minds must be renewed by the Word of God every single day. We are what we eat. So, what are we eating? Jesus said, “It is written, “man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God” (Matt. & Luke 4:4). If we are to be different, to make a difference, the people of the world must see a difference between what they do, and what we do.
