The Choice Between Stimulus and Response

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.
Romans 12: 2

3. 3 For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. 4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world.

2 Corinthians 10: 3-5
