““Reflection on Romans 12:1–2 It is increasingly difficult for us to remain unaffected by the values of our society. In an age of unprecedented communication, we receive an extraordinary number of messages reinforcing the world’s value system. But the solution is not to remove ourselves from the world. We are to go into it with a firm understanding of the values of God’s kingdom, refusing to be intimidated or swayed by contrary opinions and prepared for God to use us. In fact, when we’re filled with his Spirit and listening for his voice, we can shape our environment more than it shapes us. Our transformed minds can make an impact. Instead of being conformed to the world, we can become transformers of it.””
