Transformed or Conformed

They were so cool.  You could take a car and make a big giant robotic super hero.  The toys were so much better and more fun after I became an adult.  So are you being transformed or are you conforming? You are transformed by God you are conformed by the world.  It all begins between the ears.  Either your mind is being daily transformed by the Word of God or your mind is being daily conformed by the pleasures of the world.  These are two great opposing forces that have battled from the beginning of time. 

Romans 12:1-2 AMP

I APPEAL to you therefore, brethren, and beg of you in view of [all] the mercies of God, to make a decisive dedication of your bodies [presenting all your members and faculties] as a living sacrifice, holy (devoted, consecrated) and well pleasing to God, which is your reasonable (rational, intelligent) service and spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world (this age), [fashioned after and adapted to its external, superficial customs], but be transformed (changed) by the [entire] renewal of your mind [by its new ideals and its new attitude], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God, even the thing which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His sight for you].
