" For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone; the flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land. " Song of Solomon

Transformation

We are in this world and the only way out is in a pine box. Know this: we are being conformed to this world. It presses us into its mold, and unless we are "transformed" it will determine our shape: who we are and how we act.

Paul warns against being spoiled through man's philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments (the a,b,c's) of the world (Colossians 2:8)

How, then, do we achieve transformation? Paul says: "and be ye not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind.." Romans 12:2

You see, the mind, one's way of thinking, determines one's way of acting. We must continually check our thinking...does it line up with the Bible?...if it doesn't we must correct it...by rejecting error and replacing error with truth.

"....there have been many times when I have shed bitter tears, when if I had understood the situation better, I would have celebrated my good luck instead."
