These are all common phrases, and they’re accurate. What we think has a huge impact on how we behave. If we develop the mindset that “everybody’s doing it, so it must be okay,” we’re bound to make errors in judgment.

There are many ideologies and philosophies in the world, but we aren’t to conform to the world’s standards; we’re to be transformed to God’s standards. Set your mind to Christlikeness and walk in His ways.
