flip x3

my turn, my turn!

i think i can concur with carey and karen, God wants us to flip our thinking. btw, he actually says it THIS way in his Word:

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 12:2

that was the sermon this sunday at my church. i needed my mind renewed, because lately i have decided i don't want to go to church. i have alot of preconceived notions, and most of them are not good ones. so on sundays, i STRUGGLE and wrestle, and just hear God say "come for ME, not for any other reason."


which i do, usually anyway. today was a really nice blessing. we got to hear this guy (left, above) speak who was on his way to the Sturgis motorcycle rally. he is a preacher in kansas city, and also runs the teen challenge program there. i knew i would like him almost instantly. quite often we'll have a biker dude stop on his/her way to sturgis. our church seems to have that blessing, and mike (cannot remember his last name) has a son who attends our church.

anyway, his sermon was very good. but the premise is one i have heard alot of lately. we need to flip our thinking to God's thinking. and that can only be done by listening, hearing, studying, absorbing, EATING his Word. and rejecting other voices. rejecting the syllogisms of the world (look it up, i had to) and basing our logical thinking on the logic of our Lord, not ourselves.

in other, simpler words, do the flip.

:) let's all flip together, shall we?!
