It’s great being with you all this evening for part 3 of our 50 Days of Transformation Series!

Now, if you’ve been around over the past 3 weeks, you know that our theme verse for these 50 Days of Transformation is Romans 12:2.

In the NIV, it says, “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”

But if you’re using the New Living Translation, as I am, you’ll notice that it reads just a little differently:

It says this: “Do not be conformed to the pattern of this world but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think.”

In other words, according to Paul, one of the main keys to transformation has to do with changing the way we think,

Which is interesting because, more often than not, when we think about experiencing greater transformation in our lives,

What we often think we need is for God to change our circumstances.

But God is far more interested in changing the way we think than changing your circumstances.

And why? Because we’ll never experience real transformation in our lives until our thoughts begin to change.

And there are 3 reasons for that that I’d like to share with you.
