Either Or

Either/Or

We live in a world filled with so many choices and a multitude of options. From a menu of endless television stations to entire grocery aisles dedicated to cereal or toothpaste, we love having options. From choosing a paint color or ordering an ice cream cone, we have plenty of choices.

That may be true when it comes to making purchases or seeking entertainment, but when it comes to how we live our lives, we really only have two choices. Romans 12:2 says we will either conform to the pattern of the world or we will become transformed by the renewing of our minds. It's an either/or proposition. Every single one of us will fall into one of those two groups.

Romans 12:2 goes on to explain that it's the renewing of the mind that enables us to find God's perfect will. Either we will or we won't. Either we do or we don't. Either we conform to the ways of the world and live according to it, or we are transformed by renewing or mind and live according to the teachings of the bible.

In a world filled with so many choices and a multitude of options, there is one decision that matters most. Will we be conformed or will we be transformed? Will we go along with the pattern of the world or will we discover and follow the ways of God? In a world overflowing with choices, the truth is that it's still an either/or life. Will we do the best we know how, or will we know how to do what's best?

That's what Empower NBCA School of Ministry is all about. Providing an environment where one can become transformed by renewing their mind through a consistent and systematic study of the scriptures. This is the gateway to the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God.
