As I observe the plight of the modern day Christian I see believers that are consumed by the darkness around them. I see professed Christians that have bought into the secular world views that dominate our society. As followers of Christ we have been given some powerful and infallible assets to walk this life; however when our thinking is conformed to the thought processes of those in the world, we lose our power.
There are so many believers that are walking around defeated and overwhelmed by their circumstances. There are too many believers that are being tossed by every wind of doctrine. Instead of being guided and sustained by the Word of God, we have become a people driven by emotions. Too often, I meet Christians that are just waiting for the next great motivating sermon, only to have their emotions wane over the next several days.
Once the emotion has waned, the believer is back to square one in attempting to deal with all that is going on in their lives. So somewhere around Tuesday or Wednesday they began to yearn for the next motivational explosion from their Pastor. Don't get me wrong, you should be yearning the teaching of the Word. The problem is not yearning for the next sermon. The problem is that in some way this believer is not absorbing or inculcating what is being taught by the pastor, they have gotten caught up in the emotion of it all.
It is not the emotion that sustains; it is the Word of God; its promises, its guidance, its revelation of Christian identity and assets. Romans 12: 2 is one of the most oft quoted scriptures in the Bible, yet it is one of the most misunderstood and rarely executed of all scriptures. It is my objective in this short book to unveil the true meaning and power that is revealed in this scripture, to open up the source of true transformation and elevation within the Christian life.
I will be drawing from a number of scriptural passages to set the ground work for this revelation to be unveiled. My ultimate goal will be to get you to understand that "you are what you think". Although you are judged by your overt behavior, your behavior is determined by your thought processes. So many people wonder why they continue to find themselves in the same situations over and over again.
The answer is simple, whether it is financial ruin, relational issues, emotional issues, or psychological struggles, the answer is in the way you think. If you want to change your perpetual situations, change the way you think perpetually.

Biographie de Rick Wallace Ph.D, Psy.D.

Born in the late 60's to a fifteen-year-old mother and an absent father, I was taken in at the age of nine months by my great grandparents. They adopted me when I was two. I was precocious as a child and I'm sure my grandmother would add, quite loquacious. My grandmother took advantage of my inherent ability to learn and my inexorable desire to talk. She sat me down at the age of two, switch in hand, and began to teach me the story of the creation as revealed in Geneses 1-3.
Once I had it committed to memory, my grandmother taught me to recite it with passion. She then took me from church to church, put a microphone in my hand and made me recite it before the congregation. My grandmother said she was being obedient to the prompting of the Holy Spirit in teaching me the Bible, thank God she did. My grandfather was the one who taught me how to be a man. Born in 1909, he had to stop schooling in the second grade to help his parents who sharecropped.
Because of this he stressed education and achievement. Though he passed away at the age of 83 in 1992, he is still very much with me. My grandmother passed recently, in March 2010 at the age of 92. I am a proud father of seven ranging in age from 2 to 31. I consider each one a blessing from God. You will be introduced to each one individually through my writings. My children are a constant reminder of how much God loves me.
Thanks to my grandparents, I had a wonderful childhood. I was given an immense appreciation for scholarship and carried the natural gift of athleticism. Throughout school, I put both to use. I have been blessed both in athletic achievement and in the attainment of academic knowledge. Both have contributed to my advancement in life. I feel it necessary to give honorable mention to four people who had an enormous impact on my life.
Ms. Geraldine François, my 4th-6th grade teacher. Ms. François was an accelerated learning teacher who saw something special in me and refused to accept anything less than my best. This included my handwriting. She said no one would ever discern the depth of my intelligence if they were not able to decipher my handwriting. To this day, my handwriting is identical to hers and most women find it humorously unbefitting a man.
Mr. Brewer was my seventh grade history teacher. He instilled the intrinsic value of self-discipline. Mr. Brewer was a former college instructor who discovered that man...
