<p>I marvel at people that won’t read or study the bible.</p>
<p>Though I am not in a bible study group, I’d rather study on my own.</p>
<p>He says, be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind. Ro.12. What I can’t understand is, how can one expect to renew their mind, if they don’t know what to renew it to.

<p>I marvel at people that won’t read or study the bible.</p>

<p>He says, be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind. Ro.12. What I can’t understand is, how can one expect to renew their mind, if they don’t know what to renew it to. If they aren’t reading or studying the Word? I like what Napoleon Hill says in his book, “Think and Grow Rich” <strong><em>We know that the dominating thoughts of our mind, will eventually reproduce themselves in outward physical actions, and gradually transform themselves into their physical reality.</em></strong> And so, it is with our minds, if we don’t fill it with the Word of God, and meditate on it, whatever is dominating our thoughts, we will do.</p>
<p>I don’t know if you have heard this before about the un-renewed mind.</p>
<p><strong><em>The un-renewed mind is always raging war against unbelief, always praying for faith, but never arriving. Talking unbelief, yet struggling to get faith, confessing failure, and at the same time confessing faith in the Word yet denying it is action, trying to believe, but never acting on the Word.</em></strong></p>
<p>One can’t act on the Word if he hasn’t studied it, or know what it says. Therefore, it is very important that we keep the Word before us at all times.</p>
<p>He sent His Word and healed them. I believe it was for spiritual healing as well as mental and physical. Amen?</p>

<p>Personally, I think that if you are in a good group that is being lead by the Holy spirit, you have such a better chance of personal understanding of what is being said. How many times do you recall or hear from someone else that you have been reading a long time and all of the sudden, wham, it becomes so clear.</p>
