Romans 12:2

2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

I have preached mind renewal for years. Written about it on-line from the beginning of the internet. One of the things that I haven't mentioned alot is; transformation.
How do we conform to this world, by not having the soul-mind transformed.
The text, taken in context, has mind renewal transforming the believer not only to a knowing, but creating a new person in soul-mind. Always remember you are made complete in spirit the moment you believed by the cross, Col. 2:10

10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:

1Cor 6:17,

17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.

I like to use the terminology "the mind catching up with the facts," because it is true.

It has the same effect as the caterpillar to a butterfly. What is unique about this transformation in nature is; it looks, acts, and thinks nothing like the old form.
Metamorphosis is the word for this transformation.
A caterpillar weaves it's cocoon, and in time a butterfly emerges.
A period of transformation takes place. What is so very unique about this is in the transformation you get a completely different form of being.
If you look at a butterfly and you did not know where they came from caterpiller, you would have no idea what it once was.
We spend years looking for formulas on how to be good Christians, how to treat my spouse, and raise children right.
The formula per se is in the cross, you were exchanged at the cross in spirit, and being changed in soul-mind.
You must divide soul/spirit to understand soul transformation.
As I was looking on the net. for something the other day I came across this Christian website.
All the books they were selling were 24.99.
I was so grieved by this atrocity that has swept Christianity.
I'm not saying some book may bless you, but my thought was "who is buying all this stuff."
This how to fix anything, if they worked it would be one thing, but most are junk.
They turn them out like cooking
pancakes.
I know most don't have the time to write as much as they claim, sad that Christians have to endure this and get no help at the same time, these guys are charlatans, to say the least.

We have the book of all books, just because it gets mistrued and walked all over, it is up to you to get transformed by the renewing of your mind.
I often think about what Peter or Paul or any of the other Apostles would have to say about Christianity today.
I can tell you this if you read them you will know what they would have to say about Christianity today, it is written what they had to say. Allow your mind to be transformed by the understanding of God's word.

If Christians read less 'Christian' books, and read more of The Book, they would by God's grace understand far more of The Book, right?
