We will  talk about a subject not many talked about or preach on in most churches today.  Our subject is the “Renewing of the mind” what is it?  Some of us have read the phase while reading the Bible. Yet, these words are as misunderstood in the church today as the words “revelation of Christ”.  Exactly what is the”renewing of the mind” and is it different than receiving a “revelation of Christ”?  Can everyone get a “‘renewed mind”? And, what does it mean if you get your “mind renewed”?  Is there a specific key or process to the “renewing of the mind”? Lastly, how will someone know or not know if their mind is renewed or being renewed?  With that said, let’s talk about it!

Down Motivation and Desensitization to the person of Christ

Greetings Everyone,

We mentioned the term a short time ago in our message on the “Tripartite Man”. I used the term “down motivation” in passing but didn’t explain exactly what it means. Today we’ll talk about the the power of desensitization to the person of Christ and it’s work on “down motivation” in humankind. Remember whatever we’re being sensitized to at the same time we’re being desensitized to something else. Down motivation has a great deal to do with blinding humankind to the person of Christ! Think about this, everything God created in third dimension (time,space, and matter) was created with and in down motivation! All it needed was a time to be revealed! You know, most humans including born-again believers, have a very difficult if not impossible time receiving, accepting and believing anything Spiritual because they are consumed by or with “down motivation” thinking! Let’s talk about it! 

Love in Christ,

“Who loved me, and gave himself for me” Then and Now

Greetings Everyone,
Today we conclude with Paul’s final words in this verse from his revelation of Christ.  His final statement is “who loved me and gave himself for me”.  Have we noticed his use of the personal pronoun “me”? He said “who loved me” then “gave himself for me”.  His revelation is personal so the love he now sees is personal! And, that also makes the death personal too!  Remember “I am crucified with Christ”. Let’s start by looking at “loved me” first.  Is the love of God conditional?  Is it unconditional? Is it personal?  Everyone has their own belief on this subject.  Is God’s love conditional or unconditional? Do we deserve it or don’t deserve it?  Are either of terms used in the Bible?  The answer flows out of Paul’s revelation of Christ!  Paul seems to be pretty set of the personal pronoun me. Let’s talk about it!
 
Love in Christ,

“I live by the faith of the Son of God”

Greetings Everyone,
Let’s continue with our walk in Paul’s revelation of Christ in Gal 2:20. With that said, today we will continue with Paul’s next words in his revelation of the mystery in Christ and the Christ-Life!  He continues with “I live by the faith of the Son of God” As we’ve stated before he has established and declared that he has a life which he now lives in the flesh (his body; his biological identity).  The life, is the now live, in the flesh!  But how does he live this life?  He has identified the “life” as Christ.  He has declared and established “the Christ-life” as his true life and “only life.” So, by what means does he live this “now life?” Paul tells us first “I live by the faith.” Let’s look at those words closely and talk about it.
 
Love in Christ,
