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. By renewing our minds to Christlikeness, we’ll be much more likely to seek and follow God’s will rather than fall to our own human, flawed will. 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.
