6 Dimensions of the Human Makeup

1. Thought (images, concepts, judgments, inferences)

3. Choice (will, decision, character)
4. Body (action, interaction with the physical world)

Romans 12:1-2 “Therefore, I urge you, brothers & sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy & pleasing to God - this is your true & proper worship. 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 & approve what God’s will is - his good, pleasing & perfect will.”

true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things. 9 Whatever you have learned

r received or heard from me, or seen in

me - put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

Laurel Wreaths in Greco-Roman games were a symbol of

achievement. To

rest on your laurels meant you could revel in achievement, and no longer strive.

1 Corinthians 9:24-27 24 Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. 25 Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. 26 Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like a boxer beating the air. 27 No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to

thers, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.

Mark 9:24 I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief! It’s not easy to want change… But transformation is possible!
