Week 5 Day 6 Renewing of your mind

The Living Sacrifice ( Romans 12:1-2)
Does doing daily devotions count towards a renewal of the mind? As we try methods to try and help us remember scripture verses so that they become part of our mental framework, there are some dangers.
Scripture tells us the nature of God through history and a multitude of inspired human authors. Through the Holy Spirit, we can hear God's voice speaking to us through the passages in the bible but as students we also need to think about the paradigm (mind set/ presuppositions) found in our field of study. How is your mind renewed by Scripture in your academic studies?

* Catalyst (the graduate wing of TSCF) has books. articles and conferences that helps you think some of these things through.
* The nursing students at Wintec have been watching material created by Nursing Christian Fellowship in the US.
* Veritas in Auckland law school tries to tie faith and work as law students. What have you learnt as you engage with your studies together?
* Students who study environmental science, will find NT Wright's interpretation of heaven interesting. Click here.
* The Veritas Forum explores Christianity and academic subjects.
* Charissa from HCF started a blog to record stories of her uni friends. Click here.

As we prepare for work through improving or skills and knowledge, we also grow to appreciate work as worship.
