A man is not what he thinks he is, but what he thinks, he is! So the maxim goes. Right living begins with right thinking. What we essentially become begins in the mind. C.H. Spurgeon put it this way: God will not live in the parlour of our hearts if we entertain the devil in the cellar of our thoughts. So come sit in my parlor and 'mull with me.'

ATYPICAL FOR JESUS...
IF TODAY'S CHURCH IS LAODICEAN (Revelation 3:14-22), of which God says, "I know you inside and out, and find little to my liking. You're not cold, you're not hot—far better to be either cold or hot! You're stale. You're stagnant. You make me want to vomit. You brag, 'I'm rich, I've got it made, I need nothing from anyone,' oblivious that in fact you're a pitiful, blind beggar, threadbare and homeless", THEN, I'd better work out my salvation "with fear and trembling" (Philippians 2:12) in order to be ATYPICAL (not typical, not conforming to the type).
