Romans 12:1-5 (NIV)

1 Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God--this is

your spiritual act of worship.

Romans 12:1-5 (NIV)

2 Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing

and perfect will.

Romans 12:1-5 (NIV)

3 For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself

with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you.

Romans 12:1-5 (NIV)

4 Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have

the same function,

Romans 12:1-5 (NIV)

5 so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.

1. We need to stop thinking the way the world does.

Romans 12:2 (NIV)

2 Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing

and perfect will.

2. We need to start thinking God’s way.

Hebrews 4:12 (NIV)

12 For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it

penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts

and attitudes of the heart.

2 Timothy 3:16-17 (NIV)

16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and

training in righteousness, 17 so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for

every good work.

Psalm 1:1-3 (NIV)

1 Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. 2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his

law he meditates day and night.

Psalm 1:1-3 (NIV)

3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does

prospers.

3.We need to be thankful.

Philippians 4:6-8 (NIV)

6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with

thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all

understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:6-8 (NIV)

8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think

about such things.
