The Mind of Christ

The faithful mind: "For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain."

The submissive mind: "Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind let each of you regard one another as more important than himself."

The spiritual mind: "But whatever things were gain to me, those things I have counted as loss for the sake of Christ."

The secure mind: "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made know to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, shall guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

"And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good, well-pleasing, and perfect."

Are you being conformed or transformed? Being faithful no matter your circumstances? Being submissive toward those God has put into your life so that you might minister to their needs? Thinking spiritually in a world totally dedicated to thinking materialistically? Resting your security in who He is and in His promises or in your own ability to solve your problems?

The mind of Christ: I give up my rights and my reputation and the freedom to do what pleases me in order to pour myself out for others as a bond-servant--a love energized servant--of everyone in need. Till death.
