  1. Renewing Your Mind

    Comments Off on Renewing Your Mind
    Renewing Your Mind — a word by Pastor Bryan Edwards from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "is not something we achieve. It’s always something we receive. You step into the renewing work (He’s doing in you) whenever you come to God."

    Have you ever noticed how quick and easy it is to change your diet, clothes, or even your daily routine? But it’s pretty much impossible to change the way you think?? It doesn’t matter how hard you try to shut down certain thoughts. The same temptations and worries always sneak back in.

Reading in Matthew 3:8, John the Baptist gives us a piece of timeless wisdom that can always guide us. It guides us not just at the start of the year but every single day: “Bear fruit in keeping with repentance.” Repentance isn’t just about feeling bad or saying sorry. It’s also about a life transformed by God’s grace.
