Romans 12
2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
Regardless of what year, God’s goal for us in transformation
To live transformed lives, to have transformational relationships in the church and to be involved on transforming lives.

“As a man thinks in his heart, so he is”
