Romans 12:2

I just watched the second video in the truth project series and I can’t stop amening (is that a word) one of the statements of the show so I have to share.


“We are probably living in the most anti-intellectual period in the history of the church, not anti-scientific, not anti-academic, but anti intellect, anti mind. The Bible tells us that we are called as Christian people not to be conformed to the world but to be transformed and the way of that transformation is through the renewing of the mind (Romans 12:2). We have been made by our Creator to have a direct line from the brain, or from the mind, to the heart and so for Scripture the new mind brings with it always a new heart. But you can’t bypass the mind in an attempt to have a renewed heart, and that’s what people are trying to do today. I don’t want to learn. I don’t want to study the Word of God. I want to have a feeling. I want to have some kind of mystical experience and let that supplant or replace the hard study of the content of the Word of God. But the Scripture says the way life changes is when the mind changes.”
