I exhort in an active way, you our vocational family brethren, by the possession of compassions; we possess of God, to actively present your bodies; a sacrifice actively living, holy, well-pleasing; as part of us to God as intelligent part of our speech as your service.

And not fashion yourselves and assume a certain form to this age or lifetime, but otherwise be transformed as part of us or change into another form by the renewing; or renewal of your mind as possessed by us for to prove actively always, and watching by you what is the will possessed of God the good, well-pleasing as always, perfect that is whole of sacrifices without blemish and complete.

Today's scriptures in the service was Romans 12:1-2. But I wanted to know what does it really mean from the Greek. So I took my traning and went to work on it so I could understand it.

What is God trying to say to me from this scriptures? Why are these two verses here this week? How does this relate to the green pastures in Psalm 23? Not as we see it here in the rolling green hills and plains....but the reality that David saw in the Holy Land? Enough wild grass to eat to get them to the next patch of grass among the stoney areas the Shepherd knows. Some spiritual food that helps transforms us just before the next trial the Shepherd guides me in ....enough food to keep us going through to the next feeding. Food, trial, food, trial....guiding comfort of the Shepherd....transforming our minds in the spiritual ways to perfect us before we go Home.

God expects us to transform our minds through the good and the bad.....and to take on our vocation as brothers or sisters in the Church of Christ's!

So much food....so much revelation by reading and studying the Word of God!

To God be ALL the glory!
