Transforming Not Conforming 283

"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

Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Noah, Moses, Daniel, Isaiah , Jeremiah, David, Samuel,
Deborah, Ezekiel, Gideon, Jesus, John the Baptizer, Paul, and others, too many to recount here-
the "great cloud of witnesses" in Hebrews 12 is chock full of non-conformists.
As Christians, followers of Yeshua, we are not supposed to "blend in"-
we are supposed to stir things up.
We are not called to step to the cadence of the World, but instead as His sheep,
we are to incline our ears to Jesus' rhythm, His drumbeat; the rhythm of the Lion of Judah.
He is doing a new thing...making all things new.
His Holy Spirit is at work in us, transforming us, moment by moment, from one glory to another.
Today, beloved incline your heart, soul and mind to the Good Shepherd-be transformed!

  1. Recently heard an interview with the author of the book "The art of nonconformity" and was wondering how I could apply this to my Christian life...well now I know, thanks Hugh
