The Fashion of Time, Rom 12:2

the title of sermon it is the fashion of time. Fashion, is it right or wrong? That's the topic today fashion of time following fashion. Is it right or wrong Romans chapter 12 verse 2 Romans chapter 12

Romans chapter 12 verse 2 Yep.

Okay, I'll be praying for the Lord. Thank you for the scriptures. Thank you for the word. We bless you Jesus. We give you all the glory Lord. We prepare our hearts to receive your word Christ in us our lives Lord. Thank you master in Jesus name we pray. Amen. Okay Romans chapter 12 verse 2 That and do not be conformed to the conformed to this world but be but be transformed by the renewing of your mind that you may prove what that is good. What is that good an acceptable and perfect will of God you been doing the CDs on Romans for the last month and tell chapter 11 was Paul talking about all of the article aspects of of redemption salvation and always coming to the Practical theology by Paul talks about in chapter 12 verse one. We saw a couple of weeks back. We saw I beseech you Brethren by the mercies of God to offer yourself as a Living Sacrifice, holy and acceptable to get accepted to acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. That's how you can be an acceptable. Sacrifice be ready for God being an instrument for God means you reflect God in your situation. You are reflecting God's position in a situation that is being a sacrifice. We saw that last If you are ready to do God's work, but you are a Living Sacrifice next principle which Paul talks about you is that is do not be conformed to this world guitar amplifier do not be conformed to this world this age and brackets fashioned after adopted and adapted to do Stuart external superficial Customs, but be transformed Changed by the entire renewal of your mind by its new ideas and its New Attitudes so that you may prove for yourself. What is a good and acceptable and perfect will of God even the thing which is good and acceptable and perfect in his sight for you. Well, that's a long was right lot of exclamation that this was a full of treasures than it actually as we was digging into a lot of Information or things got else in this Palace telling me this and let's see whether is Paul talking about Gucci or is Paul talking about Prada talking about long hairstyle or is Paul talking about short hairstyle half sleeve shirts. What is Paul talking about here when you read this?

What's up, that's in person to get first into the scripture verses the Greek words of it so that he'll understand what exactly is Paul. So confirmed or fashioned. That's what Paul picks up here. This word is translated as confirmed in one of us and not the worse. It says fashioned conformed a fashion do not be conformed. What's fashion by the way.

I know Lord if you're looking to fasten plate. Which is the latest fashion of dress? You know you have this.

The a17 style you have the 80s style. The other day. I was in my group of college students has posted a picture of one of her classmates wedding was late 90s early 90s double space pants size t-shirt pants with pleats in the front different size life and look at it. It's like oversized now. It's more trim and slim men's skin tight and all that stuff different styles. You have to fashion fashion is basically in short if you Google Wikipedia says passionate something but that popularized expression in a certain time and context especially in clothing footwear lifestyle accessories make up a solicitor. Something that is popular in the day, right? What is now is not what is tomorrow and policies do not fashion yourself to this world. That's what it says that it's what I say. Let's go to scripture what the Greek word says the fashion. The Greek word is Sgambati's all schematics, and that's what my baby get the word scheme keymatic. That's where we get home to confirm oneself that is one's mind and character to another pattern to Fashion or shape one thing like another OK as well as most special reference to that which is done this three changeable unstable talks about his mind to another pattern. That's what you're talkin about you. So we all have the latest fashion before the one fashion and that passion becomes outdated after sometime. Right? What is fashion now will not be fashion address for La fashion. Most of his way to be for the fashion fashion because we want to blend with the rest, right? We don't want to be outstanding. If I broke if everybody has long hair people light socket now, we'll have long hair style people try to do that to copy some role model awesome character. You want to blend with a cat with a person all the time or the crowd. That's what people are trying to do. What are the biggest and the best of the quickest fashion people are the fashion animals are the chameleons.

Do you add a pink shirt or an orange repeat shirt and holy communion in the hand on his shoulders the chameleon will automatically change its color to peach or pink. If you have and hold a chameleon, it will change it will change its color to your dress color. That's that's kind of a fashion act fashionable. Sometimes different styles of speaking rock star. If a footballer shaves his head and one style y'all start falling the style fashion.

How many if you really talk to a baby you talk like a baby?

Have you done that? You have a baby in friends? How do you talk to the baby? You talk like a baby. It's good to see parents talking to babies do that till the Hi-Fi. Lo-Fi. Wi-Fi. No man does nothing for babies babies babies style. You have to move you have the do's and you have on you fashion yourself in our character not talking to the different types of people to talk to not be your follower comply with some kind of passion in our lives. Even if you say I'm not a fashion guy, but you are wearing something and that is designed sometime. It was good or it is good. It's really like it or not you are is this what part of

Are we going to follow the Pentecostals fashion or are you going to follow the Catholic fashion, or are you going to fall to the Presbyterian fashion which fast?

What is Paul talking about you have different standards in this world? If you don't know look at standards standards of accounting standards of construction safety standards before building standards lipophilic. For example, a bathroom size door. 80cm main door is bigger than 1 meter make it bathroom. Please do. You may know nothing was coming coming soon as you fall in construction industry inviting us a newspaper. The things we have to follow is good for us. What is this? The standard or the fashion of the requirement was Boris talking about saying do not confirm or do not fashion yourself to this world to be full of that or not. Is it right or wrong? What's up schemes? I said this would come some skin schematic diagrams as ingenious be all study schematic diagrams. So cute diagrams one looping the other Isis. What is a scheme schematic diagrams? But what is this meaning of conforming? What is meaning of fashioning what Paul is talking about you then Sugi watermelons?

It's called Zen Sushi. Watermelon season Japan is one particular area and Japan were the small Islands in Japan once in a year. They harvested there are only two hundred of this produced. I need to watermelon cost 50 KD. Do you want a watermelon 450 Katie and then I'm going to the Cooperative here in bargaining for 10 inch 18 cm square all sides a cube Cube.

It's more of a fan. Motofab is a possession because you paid so much for that. You won't need it before it starts to ripen so that it'll stay longest shelf life is around six months. I know but he eats it because it's but it's harvested before it's ripe. But see how it's grown melon and watermelon starts growing in shape. They put it into a box. They put it into a square box of 18 cm And the closet on all sides restricting the growth of the watermelon to 18 cm x 18 cm on one end to the other corners. And then the Harvesters. This is the density watermelons. I want to Mellon which was restricted or confirmed or fashioned to a square size or cube size. This is the meaning of being conformed meaning fashion. You have been restricted into a box. A lot of times in our lives to be restrict ourselves in the box, Right? How many feet stink of situations have you restrict ourselves in a box? I can do that week off from knowingly or unknowingly restrict ourselves to a box and we become the square 18 cm cubed watermelon. Put up somewhere by the showpiece, but never used to anybody. Why do we do that? Become formosus limit go to a box if you do that. Right, when you come to a certain situation can God help you understand? OK Google. I'm going to watch a movie. You don't know what

or something has been escorting a children clothes in years because I'm going to say a lot of things in our lives.

Let alone ourselves we don't do that during the Civil War in US Abraham Lincoln. Abraham Lincoln and esteem the parliamentarians the All Metro prayer and the prayer of the parliamentarians told Abraham Lincoln. The gardens are outside. Let's pray that God isn't that right?

Abraham Lincoln heard that he said I think we should not pray. Let God be on our side. We should pray let us be on God's side. I'll be on God's side. What are we on some side and asking God to be on our side?

Let us pray from now on that beat be on God's side. Let's have limited or lesser confirm God to a box, but let us be on God's side is God. Yes, are you with God?

Are you with God on certain things? That's a tough question. I need to think on that thing do not be fashioned Vizio do not be conformed to not be fashioned to this word. What is this word means? What is the word mean? The word means is a Greek word ion, which means forever and I'm Broken Age of Time Eternity the universe. Of time or age in other words. It says if you go back to the weather, please do not be conformed to.

2 time actual meaning of the word do not be fashioned or do not restrict yourself to this time. You don't restrict yourself to this world here means time frame. Do not limit to a. Of time in other words think Beyond Time think Eternal what is not going to say that guys? You should not be proud of

You're thinking of thought process your life should not be restricted to something that's going to pass away or something, which is only for a small. Of time thing Eternal. Don't limit yourself to time think Eternal Eternal outside time. Think Beyond would think about eternity

think about it. Children how much how far do the thing? We need to talk about babies babies. Don't think much when stomach growls they claim they want food. If you go to teenagers, what do you think about that think about holidays weekends when they don't have to shim limits for teenagers. I don't know that limits a certain limits. Don't think Beyond that's going to make them think Beyond bedtime. Now, you're trying to tell kids that have it but they don't they don't think Beyond a certain time as you grow older. They have children. You start thinking about their future, right? But have you ever thought of Eternity Eternal think Beyond The Box? Don't stay within the Box should have an eternal impact.

When you scold your children. You should have an internal impact. It's not be hard that it leaves a mark on the lake. That's how I talk about which means whatever you do to punish me to give should they should carry that with them not in pain. button value you should carry that there's no use of blabbering to them and if I'm not listening and God knows whatever but they don't know why but let value be with the children eternal.

Don't limit the time. Another words another word for skip just basically trying to say don't focus on your Now situation. Don't focus on your Now situation focus on eternal.

How many funerals John Osteen Lakewood Church great man of God his mother Dodie Osteen and she got was it kidney failure cancel, whatever she was sick and diagnosed.

She sees herself healthy rather than seeing yourself dying. What is the power of a positive thinker of Thinking Beyond the box of thinking of it rather than thinking of your Now situation?

Pink what is beyond don't think for just today or tomorrow think of internal situation, right? All of us we need to do that. So don't Define yourself with things that will change a page of things that will pass away thing Eternal ink in such a way that they will have them eternally which means the next generation will be impacted. What should impact the Next Generation after generation after You should set the trend that the generations back to you before Lo. Think Eternal don't just think in time do not conform to this world to the stage. But so in short do not restrict our fashion to time but be transformed but be friends forever.
