conforming

It is a tragedy that many of God__ people have conformed themselves to the world and its thinking, rather than being transformed by the renewing of their minds.

Pure hearts will be Christlike. It is God__ desire that we be conformed to the image of His Son.

The pagan world is still trying to put its stamp of conformity on every follower of Jesus Christ. Every possible pressure is being brought to bear upon Christiansto make them conform to the standards of the present world . . .be a committed follower of Jesus Christ.

One of our most deep-seated fears is that we might be called an __utsider._ This fear has led us down the road to conformity, has put the imprint of __he organization man_ on our souls, and has robbed us of originality of thought, individuality of personality, and constructive action.

God__ purpose for us is that we ought to beconformed to the image of His Son. The world may exert its pressure to deform us, but we are told to __e transformed_ [Romans 12:2 NIV].

The apostle Paul said, __e not conformed to this world._ These words cut like a sharp sword across our way of life. They have the tone of the battle call in them. They separate the weak from the strong. But they are words of inspiration, and we need to hear them today.

It is often asked, __ow could the early disciples turn the world upside downwhen millions of Christians can__ even keep it right side up today?_ The answer is they didn__ conform their faith to match the world.

Be free! Get out of your prison of conforming thoughts.

Societal peer pressure to conform runs strong, but as more of us continue to think and act for ourselves, rather than be under the influence of group-think, we begin to make more effective choices.

Human history is the ancient story of the umbilical conflict between a lone individual versus a cabalistic society. A love-hate relationship defines our personal history with society, where the suppression of individuality for the sake of the collective good battles the notion that the purpose of society is to enable each person to flourish. A conspicuous feature of cultural development involves societies teaching children the sublimation of unacceptable impulses or idealizations, consciously to transform their inappropriate instinctual impulses into socially acceptable actions or behavior. The paradox rest in the concept that in order for any person to flourish they must preserve the spiritual texture of themselves, a process that requires the individual to resist societal restraint, push off against the community, and reject the walls of traditionalism that seek to pen us in. The climatic defining event in a person__ life represents the liberation of the self from crippling conformism, staunchly rebuffing capitulating to the whimsy of the super ego of society.

Many people are not conforming with theism, but they are comfortable with spiritualism.
