| 0:00.0 | If you can't be anything in the heart, it's not first in the mind. |
| 0:04.6 | So if you want to get your heart to change, you have to have your mind changed. |
| 0:11.5 | And that's what Christian sanctification is all about, the renewing of the mind, the |
| 0:17.7 | sanctification of the mind so that our hearts may respond in love and adoration. |
| 0:31.0 | Renewing your mind gets its name from Romans 12-2, where Paul tells us not to be |
