So what do a toothbrush and renewing of the mind have to do with each other? Plenty. Stay with me a minute and I’ll explain.

In Romans 12, Paul give us some excellent advice about what to do with our knowledge of God and His ways when we become Christ followers and when we listen to what the Holy Spirit tells us as we go about our daily lives.

Paul says that we are to “renew our minds” so that we can “test and approve what God’s will is”. In other words, Paul is telling us that as believers and followers of Christ, we have to start to think differently than we used to think if we are going to fulfill the purposes that God has for us.
