(OF MIND )

July 16, 2023

Do you have a renewed mind or a reprobate mind?

Have you ever stopped to ask yourself if you are thinking straight? Because the Left doesn’t. They’re 100% positive that they are right. They never question themselves, their beliefs, their morality or their thinking.

Maybe they should. Ya think?

If you line up your beliefs with them, I warn you now that you are in spiritual peril. They are demonic, they are ungodly, and they are morally reprehensible.

If you’ve been aligning yourself with them, my advice to you is: RUN!

The Apostle Paul explained to us how we are to act and how we are to think, if we want to align ourselves with God:

Romans 12: 1-3, 9

A Living Sacrifice

Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. ² Do not conform 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.

Humble Service in the Body of Christ

³ For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you.

⁹ Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.

Paul also speaks of washing one’s mind through the Word of God and self-sacrifice. In other words, we are to love God and His Word more than we love (and listen to) the world:

Ephesians 5:25-27

²⁵ Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her ²⁶ to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, ²⁷ and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.

You renew your mind by 1) accepting Christ and loving Him, and 2) reading and studying the Bible; the only inerrant Word of God.

It’s just not that complicated.

But we Christians can discern right away those who don’t belong to Christ. It’s more obvious now than ever before, at least it’s more obvious than it’s ever been in my lifetime. In fact, it’s so obvious whose mind is renewed and whose mind is reprobate, that I can’t see how anyone can miss it.

The sheep are being separated from the goats.

And here Paul further explains this phenomenon in the 1^st Chapter of Romans:

Romans 1: 18-32

God’s Wrath Against Sinful Humanity

¹⁸ The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, ¹⁹ since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. ²⁰ For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.

²¹ For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. ²² Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools ²³ and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.

²⁴ Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. ²⁵ They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.

²⁶ Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. ²⁷ In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.

²⁸ Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. ²⁹ They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, ³⁰ slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; ³¹ they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. ³² Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.
