a. Trends/Fashionable things
b. Laws of the world
c. Thinking in accordance to the world - what are our motivations, mindset, thinking? e.g love others because God loves them, instead of just human rights]]> 2021-07-28 13:45:04 UTC https://padlet.com/quanwei/c55gwpcw2knizmxu/wish/1663145004 https://padlet.com/quanwei/c55gwpcw2knizmxu/wish/1663146667 Through the renewing of our minds we will have the clarity to discern test and approve what is God's will. Because the world and is ways is in conflict with God's will, but if we renew our minds to think like Him we are able to discern and agree with God's will.

If our mind is not fixed on God and on the world, we will not understand God's will. 

Test and approve implies we might be challenged in our understanding. ]]> 2021-07-28 13:46:57 UTC https://padlet.com/quanwei/c55gwpcw2knizmxu/wish/1663146667 pangmkjon https://padlet.com/quanwei/c55gwpcw2knizmxu/wish/1663147296 - We test things things to make sure that it's truth.
- To approve is to believe and agree that something is true.
- It's about knowing and accepting what's God's best, His purpose and plans for us
- "Then" suggests that only after we change when way we think and operate can we test what God's will is.

His plans for us is good and does not harm us. 

God's will is all 3: Good + pleasing 
+ perfect. But is it always pleasing to us?

Looking at the verse before this..
Romans 12:1
Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.

To go back to God's perspective to re-examine like if it is pleasing. 

His good, pleasing and perfect will is in God's larger perspective that we may not see now. ]]> 2021-07-28 13:54:36 UTC https://padlet.com/quanwei/c55gwpcw2knizmxu/wish/1663154850 https://padlet.com/quanwei/c55gwpcw2knizmxu/wish/1663161575 An example: Jesus reached out with the tax collectors and prostitutes in spite of what the religious people thought.

In the end, it was Jesus who turned their hearts towards God and led them to repentance, not the religious ones.

Which was the Spirit-led method? Which outcome fulfilled God's will?]]> 2021-07-28 14:01:37 UTC https://padlet.com/quanwei/c55gwpcw2knizmxu/wish/1663161575 https://padlet.com/quanwei/c55gwpcw2knizmxu/wish/1663164086 Moral life =/= living according to God's will.

Only when we are in sync with God, will we know His will and understand the outcome of what was tested.
