The Renewing of the Mind Project Quotes

“We live in an instant society. We’re so used to getting what we want quickly and easily that we often expect to reach our goals without a lot of effort on our part. But life doesn’t always work that way. Jesus tells us that we can’t bear fruit unless we abide in Him (John 15:4). Paul tells us that if we want to receive the fruit of the Spirit, we need to walk in the Spirit (Galatians 5:16-25). Walking and abiding aren’t instant activities. They take time.”

“The renewing of the mind, like a home improvement project, is a taking off and a putting on. You take off the old self. You put on the new self. You take off the lies. You put on the truth. You take off a cultural perspective. You put on a biblical perspective. You take off what you learned growing up. You put on what you learned in the Bible.”
