Philippians 1:21 – 2:4
The Apostle Paul often urged the believers in the early
church to be of “one mind” or to have the “mind of Christ.” This exhortations rings true for the church
today. What does that kind of unity look
like. How do we get there? Thankfully, it’s not a secret.
As believers, we are Called to be Transformed
by renewing our Minds (changing how we Think ).
Sow a Thought, reap an Action.
Sow an Action, reap a Habit.
Sow a Habit, reap a Lifestyle.
Sow a Lifestyle, reap a Destiny.
