so i've been reading and rereading this passage over and over again over the past few days
in diffent versions and commentaries and this version seems to be the most simple and in yo face version
so here it is
so when i think if this passage the whole idea of placing every freakin thing i do in front of god and then totally giving him ALL control of EVERYTHING iam like holy crap!! idunno if i can do this!!
"Dont become well adjusted to your culture" when i first read this i was like "huh???" isn't the church suppose to be "Culturally relevant"?????
then God was like the message should be presented in a culturally relevant fashion
u don't need to be culturally relevant!!
just because u move to rome doesn't mean u don't have to speak italion
it make be hard but u dont have to!!!!!!
living for God we should go to rome and speak spanish!!
"Do not conform any longer to the patterns of this world but be renewed by the transformation of ur mind"
so next time when ppl are all like "Dude u don't act like everybody else" u can just smile and show some swagga!!!!!!! and be all like dats right foo!! i aint suppose to talk ur talk and walk ur walk!! u can moonwalk i'll do the running man!!!
u speak italian i'll speak spanish!!!

so here it is
Romans 12:1-2
So here's what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don't become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you.
