  1. A RENEWAL OF OUR MINDS

  2. “…the human brain is the most complex arrangement of matter in the universe.” - Dr. Duane Gish

  3. For as he thinks within himself, so he is. – Proverbs 23:7a (NASB)

  4. 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 know what God wants you to do, and you will know how good and pleasing and perfect his will really is.– Romans 12:2

  5. THE GOAL: TO OBTAIN THE MIND OF CHRIST

  6. THE GOAL: TO OBTAIN THE MIND OF CHRIST 1. I NEED TO KNOW CHRIST

  7. THE GOAL: TO OBTAIN THE MIND OF CHRIST 1. I NEED TO KNOW CHRIST "Who can know what the Lord is thinking? Who can give him counsel?" But we can understand these things, for we have the mind of Christ. – 1 Corinthians 2:16

  8. THE GOAL: TO OBTAIN THE MIND OF CHRIST 1. I NEED TO KNOW CHRIST People who aren't Christians can't understand these truths from God's Spirit. It all sounds foolish to them because only those who have the Spirit can understand what the Spirit means.– 1 Corinthians 2:14

  9. THE GOAL: TO OBTAIN THE MIND OF CHRIST 2. I NEED TO SURRENDER CONTROL

  10. THE GOAL: TO OBTAIN THE MIND OF CHRIST 2. I NEED TO SURRENDER CONTROL If your sinful nature controls your mind, there is death. But if the Holy Spirit controls your mind, there is life and peace. – Romans 8:6

  11. THE GOAL: TO OBTAIN THE MIND OF CHRIST (God) cannot bless us unless he has us. When we try to keep within us an area that is our own, we try to keep an area of death. Therefore, in love, He claims all. There's no bargaining with Him.C.S. Lewis, “The Weight of Glory”

  12. THE GOAL: TO OBTAIN THE MIND OF CHRIST 3. I NEED TO WAGE WAR WITH EVIL

  13. …there is another law at work within me that is at war with my mind. This law wins the fight and makes me a slave to the sin that is still within me. Oh, what a miserable person I am! Who will free me from this life that is dominated by sin? Thank God! The answer is in Jesus Christ our Lord. So you see how it is: In my mind I really want to obey God's law, but because of my sinful nature I am a slave to sin. – Romans 7:23-25

  14. THE OUTCOME: PERSONAL RENEWAL

  15. THE OUTCOME: PERSONAL RENEWAL 1. SATAN IS DEFEATED

  16. THE OUTCOME: PERSONAL RENEWAL 2. GUILT IS REMOVED Keep me from deliberate sins! Don't let them control me. Then I will be free of guilt and innocent of great sin. – Psalms 19:13

  17. THE OUTCOME: PERSONAL RENEWAL 3. GOD’S WILL IS DISCERNED

  18. WITH THE MIND OF CHRIST I AM FREE TO BE THE PERSON GOD CREATED ME TO BE
