Contributed by Mark Roper on Feb 21, 2009

People who live long lives together eventually begin to sound alike, to talk alike, and even to think alike. As we walk with God, we take on his thoughts, his principles, and his attitudes. We take on his heart, mind, and personality.

Being Renewed in the Spirit of Your Mind Eph 4:17-24 NKJV As we walk as Christians, were in a battle for our minds. What does this mean? You will either be a person who controls your mind or you will be a person who is controlled by your mind. 1. Your mind is the doorway into who we ...read more
