FROM TODAY’S READING (6/14/2021)...
"We understand that following Christ means dying to ourselves, being renewed in our minds, and no longer walking as we once did. Being “true to ourselves” is always a false choice when it means going against God’s Word."
Kevin DeYoung
Matthew 16:24 (NLT) Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must give up your own way, take up your cross, and follow me.”
Romans 12:2 (NLT) 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.
Ephesians 4:17-18 (NLT) With the Lord’s authority I say this: Live no longer as the Gentiles do, for they are hopelessly confused. Their minds are full of darkness; they wander far from the life God gives because they have closed their minds and hardened their hearts against him.
