mind renewal


I decided to make a blog just for my thought meanderings on theology and Bible, as opposed to my every thoughts about life in general. I call this mind renewal, after the Greek anakainosis, which Paul uses in Romans 12:

2 "Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will."

I like this idea and I believe whole-heartedly that honest study of God's word and Spirit-led obedience results in this anakainosis of thinking, as much as addiction to drugs and formation of habits is real in both experience and the biochemical reactions happening in neurosynapses. So, by God's grace I hope to be able to do this and jot it all down in blog form. Hopefully, as time passes I can look back on this and see how God has changed my thinking, and therefore my being.
