Are you open to considering outside input about your attitudes? Most people are. Christians are by definition -- willing, even eager to know God's will and guidance regarding all of their thoughts and motivations.
That's the defining message of Christian discipleship, as described by Paul in Romans 12:1,2 -- and the focus of this message: how to be "transformed by the renewing of your mind".
It is a radical commitment to surrender -- not to any human preacher or sect or group-think, but to the word of God as revealed in us and to us by the circumstances of our life. With practical insight, earnest exhortation and conciliatory humor, this message explores four things that God gives his children who follow Jesus. It enumerates 5 specific attitude adjustments we are all called to embrace. And in a personal testimony it the end it identifies three devices God uses as means of grace to help us when we give our hearts to him: the pressures of necessity, the discovery of our own inadequacy through failure, and the good influence of fellowship with other believers. Though the sermon started in the past, it is finished in the present, and it contemplates a glorious future, not only for Christians whom God is preparing now, but also the entire world of mankind who are promised blessing and guidance in the future.
